Peter and I purchased Sun & Earth in January, and during the process of due diligence we uncovered an amazing gem, a 6 min film featuring our product. No, it wasn’t a commercial, no, it wasn’t professionally shot, and no, we don’t even sell our product the way the film describes, BUT, we were so enamored by the creativity and imagination of this young filmmaker that we wanted to inspire more filmmakers to unleash their interpretations of our awesome products and share them with the universe.
Please join us and create a short film up to 10min long, and help us tell our story.
Let’s Get Cleaned up Film Competition is a way for people who are fans of Sun and Earth and those new to the products to celebrate their favorite line of green cleaning products.

“The Cut: The Journey of the Men and Women of Duffy’s Cut,” produced by Joe Magee, Roger Bruce and Art Swanlund of Irish American Films and directed by Shawn Swords (Wages of Spin I and II, Charlie Gracie “Fabulous” National PBS) with William Watson, Ph.D., professor of History at Immaculata University, serving as historical consultant in addition to his role as director of the Duffy’s Cut Project.
“The Cut” The Journey of the Men and Women of Duffy’s Cut,” is a feature length documentary film about the 57 Irish railroad workers who arrived in Philadelphia to build mile 59 of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, and died within six to eight weeks of violence and cholera. The Irishmen were from Donegal, Tyrone and Derry in Ulster, with an average age of 22. A project, headed by Dr. Watson and his brother Rev. Frank Watson, has been underway since 2002 to locate the graves of these workers and properly rebury them. To date, the graves of seven workers have been excavated. Work is ongoing to recover the remaining fifty bodies.
“This documentary is the newest and most extensive coverage of the Duffy’s Cut story and it places the events at Duffy’s Cut in the context of other 1832-era deaths of Irish immigrant laborers elsewhere in Chester County,” stated Dr. Watson. The film discusses the possibility of the site being the location of the worst mass murder in Pennsylvania history.

| Join us for our event in partnership with The United States Attorney’s Office Eastern District of PA and Temple University Department of Film and Media Arts, ‘The Philadelphia Project: Film As A Youth Development Tool to Deconstruct Narratives’. This event begins with a screening of hour-long documentary The Philadelphia Project starring students of local Strawberry Mansion High School, followed by a Q&A with Filmmaker, Erahm Christopher. This film will impact your approach to youth engagement, possibly filmmaking, and just may transform your very definition of Brotherly Love.
During the Q&A we will explore Erahm’s process of teaching youth and adults how to utilize the filmmaking thought process to connect, reconcile and expand their creativity to tackle social issues. Q&A will be moderated by Amira Smith, Director of Multicultural Affairs for Greater Philadelphia Film Office.
About the film The Philadelphia Project is a thought-provoking film that explores the shared experience of the filmmaker, Erahm Christopher, with students of Strawberry Mansion High School. During a nine-month program, Erahm worked with sixteen youth at the only high school in the “most dangerous police district in Philadelphia”. Erahm trained the youth to deconstruct narrative media to understand how artistic techniques may influence how a viewer thinks and feels. The students learned how to apply the same method to express their thoughts regarding current events. The collaborative process helped unify the youth and improve their communication, public speaking and writing skills. The program culminated in a spoken word presentation to members of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Erahm documented the entire program on camera, resulting in a 60-minute documentary, Philadelphia Project, currently being utilized as an educational tool to help improve the social dynamic of their urban community. Philadelphia Project explores important topics such as acceptance, perception, growing up in Philadelphia, and what Brotherly Love really means. |
