Pre-Production
September 2013 to March 2014

Production
from May 2014 to April 2015
We finally get to business! This is where all the action, traveling and jet lag takes place. Our skeleton crew will be filming, so far, in Austin (Texas, USA), Olympia (WA, USA), London (UK), Harrogate (UK) and Berlin (GER.). Production and crowd funding will overlap for about 10 days or so, which is bound to make for interesting video updates for our crowd funding team to post on Indiegogo. Whilst the core of our filming will take place in 2014, we do have some more shots to capture in spring of 2015.
Post-Production
Around December 2015 to July 2015
We’re making a GREAT looking documentary for half the price! How? We’re doing a lot of the editing ourselves and have hired film professional friends to whom we’ll owe the world after this. This phase includes: synching the footage, editing, motion graphics and SFX, music composing and synching, color correction, stereo audio remix, legal clearances, formatting the film for various mediums (online, theatrical, etc.)
Release
Sometime in 2015
Drumroll please… We have high ambitions for our documentary and we’re currently planning a small art house theatrical release in the US and other countries. We also plan to make the full feature available online by the end of the year.

Michelle from nomnompaleo.com has put together a great description that captures the essence of eating Paleo:

In a nutshell, the Paleo diet (or, as I like to think of it, the Paleo template—the word “diet” tends to mislead folks into thinking this is nothing more than a temporary weight-loss program) is based on the notion that for optimal health, modern humans should go back to eating real, whole unprocessed foods that are more healthful than harmful to our bodies.

Over the past 200,000 years, humans have biologically adapted best to whole foods: plants, meat, seafood—all of them packed with the nutrients our bodies evolved to thrive on. Agriculture came on the scene a mere 10,000 years ago—a tiny fraction of our evolutionary history—and there simply hasn’t been enough time and evolutionary pressure for humans to completely adapt to eating modern foods like wheat, sugar, chemically processed vegetable and seed oils, and other “Neolithic” foods.

It’s not a coincidence that many modern diseases of civilization—including autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and rampant obesity—have accompanied the global spread of industrialized food. That’s why the Paleo approach emphasizes returning to a more ancestral approach to eating.
