The farms benefit from the compost in the production of crops while each Bootstrap subscriber receives a portion of compost (up to 30 pounds annually) for their own gardening projects. (Since 2011, the company has collected and processed 8.5 million pounds of organic material.)Īs a result, the company is harnessing the potential of organic refuse to redefine and empower local food communities. Partnering with local farms in their respective markets of Manchester, Worcester, Boston, Providence, and the Berkshires, the company diverts approximately 4,000 pounds of organic material from landfills every day. These compostables - which include meat, bones, seafood, produce, and other common kitchen waste - will go on to create over 2,500 pounds of future “black gold” for enriching soil at farms, community gardens and backyard gardening projects throughout the Granite State all while eliminating the emission of hundreds of pounds of harmful methane gas and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. MANCHESTER, NH – Since quietly launching service in Manchester 13 months ago, Bootstrap Compost has diverted 5,000 pounds of organic material from the New Hampshire waste stream. It's warm and funny and sweet, and at this festival of doom and gloom, what a joy it was to travel down this road.PVD Assistant Director Renata Kharitonenkov Co-founder & COO Igor Kharitonenkov and Development Coordinator Carla Doughty. It stays accessible, which is why audiences will embrace this film wholeheartedly. Between Shah's photography, David Birdsell's editing, and Hynes' talent for allowing his actors to tell the story, 'The Go-Getter' never wanders into pretentious indie territory. Byron Shah shot two films here at Sundance, 'An American Crime' (which I saw as well) and 'The Go-Getter.' That alone says a lot about his eye for capturing this kind of character-driven story so well. Licensing source material is pricey for an indie, but who needs hit singles when you have someone as talented as this brilliant composer? What a coup to bring him into this project. Ward wrote the score, with original songs that left me wanting more. Hope and Crosby must be smiling at this winning team. As each of the three leads has a rabid following, Hynes' script was meant to give each actor's fan base something they had never seen before: Malone as Woman, Deschanel as glamour girl, and Pucci as, well, he got his hair cut, anyway. In the Q&A after the screening here, I was fascinated to hear that a deliberate attempt was made to cast against type. Pucci's sense of comedic timing and natural delivery is second to none, and while some of his dialog was indeed improvised, I was shocked to learn that the scenes which felt the most unscripted were, in fact, from the pen of writer/director Martin Hynes. And Lou Taylor Pucci has never been better in his role as the determined yet naive youth whose trusting nature and sense of wonder left me wanting to roll back the years to a time when everything was fresh and new. And she is determined to get it back - or is she? The 'indie darling' gets her chance to shine here, and the tension that builds towards a possible reunion of car and owner holds this story together like a rope ties down a trunk when the lock is broken.

What a breath of fresh air to see this versatile young actress take on such an empowering role. Malone) who is determined to pop Mercer's cherry. Jena Malone is Joely, a sultry vixen (quite the change for Ms. And oh, the temptresses who cause that eye to wander. But like a treasure hunt whose map takes him to places enticing enough to have him abandon his quest, he needs to keep his wandering eye on the prize. Like any good road movie, he encounters one motley crew after another, a cast of characters all of whom get him just one step closer to the goal he seeks. I don't like to post spoilers, so I won't divulge more details other than to say that the trip on which he embarks will take him on a journey that would make 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' blush. Lou Taylor Pucci (Mercer) is a good kid, but one day he decides to chuck his bike and steal a car. One part sweet love story, one part romantic comedy, and one part coming-of-age tale, 'The Go-Getter' takes it all on the road and drives home a winning combination that will leave you smiling. I like a dark, moody melodrama as much as anybody, but whatever happened to the good old-fashioned road movie? I found the answer with 'The Go-Getter.' This film is all that and more. I'm not quite sure why, but this year's lineup seems to be heavy on heavy. I attended the world premiere of 'The Go-Getter' at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
