A video I made a few years back (mostly just as a bit of fun to learn the features of the video editing program I had chosen) - [The Dream Kitchen Of Tomorrow](http://www.atomicshrimp.com/st/content/dream_kitchen_of_tomorrow) - is being considered for showing at the _Reel Food Film Festival_, run by the [Modesto Art Museum](http://modestoartmuseum.org/). I think it’s only shortlisted at the moment, so it might not make it into the final lineup, but I’m really quite excited about this. ---

Congrats on the shortlist, it’s a rather nice work of editing! “You don’t have to start your plan with a sink under a window, you actually need a computer generated visual display, radioactive isotopes, and 40 million gallons of molasses.” Dream Kitchen of Tomorrow indeed! 🙂 How’d you find all that source material? ---

Thanks. Most of it is public domain footage from the moving images section of [Archive.org](http://Archive.org) [http://www.archive.org/details/movies](http://www.archive.org/details/movies) ---

Very chicken-centric. Since I love chicken, I am wholeheartedly in favor. (congrats on being shortlisted) ---

Congrats! I really enjoyed your film, and proudly forwarded to everyone I know, (many of whom will be very confused). ---

Confusion is the general idea. Thanks. ---

Very cool stuff. Good luck with being chosen. I’ve been involved with a couple of projects that have gone into very minor festivals and such (lesser ones than your festival), and it’s a nice little feather in the cap and story to tell around the snacks table. ---

Another great video. This is a fun one that I watched the whole way through. Keep plucking away at it. Anybody that likes gadgets from the past, should give Ma and Pa Kettle a check out. They move into a modern house in one of them, but all the films have gadgets and hilarity. [Listing of movies.](http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=ma+and+pa+kettle&x=0&y=0) ---
