- I’m ready for my close-up!
Local filmmaker Mark Leisher has been busy behind the camera, capturing images and interviews that will tell the Reserve’s story, both educating and inspiring. We have talked with various folks from farmers, to government types, to consumers and visionaries in order to paint a picture of this special and important place. Both Mark and Cheryl Kollin/Full Plate Ventures (film script writer) come to us through Bethesda Green. The movie will be a powerful educational tool- seen in schools, film festivals and of course online.
You can watch the 4 minute trailer below. We hope you will consider sponsoring the production with a donation. Corporate sponsorship is welcome (naturally…)

A new movie about Bee Colony Collapse (Video)
Filed Under News · Tagged:
What keeps the wheels of agriculture buzzing? The answer is bees. Scientists have been documenting huge die-offs in bee population, thought to be the result of an over-reliance on chemical pesticides. The critically acclaimed new movie, “Queen of the Sun” is a meditation on this Colony Collapse, and efforts to help bees bounce back. MCA is hoping to host a screening of this movie, in the mean time, here is the trailer. Have thoughts on the trailer, join the conversation on our facebook page.
A farm in Silver Spring (really!) makes SilverDocs

When Carlie Koiner was growing up, MoCo was all farms. Charlie is now 83 and the 1 acre plot he farms behind his house in downtown Silver Spring is the only MoCo farm below the beltway. This tenacious farmer has caught the attention of local documentary film makers and his story ‘Corner Plot’ will be featured next week at SilverDocs, the documentary film fest hosted by the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring. See the Gazette article for info on all three showtimes. We highly recommend the trailer.
