The Fruit Hunters - Movie Screening presented by Fernwood NRG
Thursday April 11 2013 at 7:30pm
The Fruit Hunters is a 2012 documentary film about exotic fruit cultivators and preservationists. It is directed by Yung Chang and co-written by Chang and Mark Slutsky, and inspired by Adam Leith Gollner's 2008 book of the same name. In addition to documentary sequences, the film also uses CGI animation, models and performers to stage real and imagined moments in the history of fruit.
Subjects in the film include actor Bill Pullman, who was not featured in Gollner's book. The filmmakers became aware of his interest in fruit thanks to a 2009 New York Times profile. The film follows Pullman's efforts to develop a communal orchard near his Hollywood Hills residence.
