What is TeamJaded?

Make It Happen:
TeamJaded is a vlog-blog dedicated to DIY culture, information and innovation. We’re talking about creative people making things happen independently and outside of the mainstream. Currently, we, Abby Berendt and Jeremey Lavoi, are traveling across the nation to find these people and share their stories.

We update our blog from the road as often as possible, and give behind the scenes looks into our shoots with videos posted every week or so.

Story Shoots in Progress:
Sisterz of the Underground
Lowcard
Austin Craft Mafia
Chuck Perkins
Okay Mountain
Poor Pony
Lost Film Fest
Bling Kong
ABC NoRio

The Big Idea:
TeamJaded’s final goal for “Make It Happen” is to create a full-length documentary about D.I.Y. across the nation. At the end of the year we will wrap up this trip and edit together the stories (as individual 5-10 min spots, and one 30 min teaser). With that done, we hope to get people psyched on our project by showing the teasers and hosting fund raising events; hopefully raising additional funding to support a second round of shoots to complete the documentary.

Money Train (MIH 17)

Our homie Angelo Hjelm, who we thought was “riding the rails” through Europe is back in the Bay and donating to TeamJaded, thanks for the cash ‘Lo.


Paloma Ramirez also matched Angelo’s donation to the cent. Unintentionally of course… as the two have never met. We are oh so thankful for her donation as well- coming in all the way from NYC. Thanks Paloma, you’re awesome!


And one last, but not least, huge thanks goes to David DeLuca who donated some mad scrilla… or we could just call it a big chunk o’ dough. Also from NYC, Dave’s donation helped us reach 1% of our final goal!! We bow down and thank you Dave.


And in case you've ever wondered what happened with Maggie (Abby's cat), well... Angelo and his family graciously took her in for the duration of the trip. If you never met Maggie, here you go:




We are so grateful to each of you (Angelo, Paloma, & Dave). Thank you!
