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.

Sisterz of the Underground Update

Our Sisterz of the Underground piece hit the airwaves on Current TV today.



For those of you who've been with us since the beginning, you might remember that we produced this piece in May... when we had just started the TeamJaded project and had recently left our jobs at Al Gore's TV network.

We're really happy that the Sisterz piece is finally on the air. While it is not technically part of Make It Happen, the Sisterz were definitely an inspiration to us. In fact, this piece functioned very much as a pilot for the Make It Happen Project.

Thanks to all the ladies who are part of SOTU, specifically Sarah Smalls, Traci P., and Crykit.

Also thanks to Mark Rinehart, Erik Nordby, Phil Stuart, and Mark Behm; the Current TV team that helped get it to air.

This doc showcased some cool kids doing something even cooler for their community. Sometimes in the mainstream media there a negative connotation to the word hip-hop. The Sisterz represent all the positive sides of hip-hop. They are truly keepers of true hip-hop values. It is good to see such young and empowering women on TV. Kudos to Team Jaded for bringing the Sisterz of the Underground to national TV.
