teamjaded: TeamJaded Press

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.

TeamJaded Press

While we were in Lake Charles, we met up with Jeremey's friends Angela and Paul Hauser (and their many pups).

Angela works for the Lake Charles American Press (the newspaper) and interviewed us about TeamJaded and the Make It Happen project. We were pretty psyched when that following Sunday, we picked up the paper to find our picture on the cover. Angela wrote a great article about TeamJaded, and we are super thankful for her support.

Here's a link to the article online: click here.

Thanks Angela.
