#FERAL HEART MOVIE#
I remember Mark Kermode enthusing about this at the time, as it’s yet another low-budget movie which only had a limited release in cinemas when it deserved far more, and I always find it annoying that films like this get short shrift from the major cinema chains, while superhero nonsense like Age Of Avengers: Dawn Of Justice is dominating 99% of the screens in the first week of their release.Ĭare home worker Eve (Shana Swash) with Luke (Steven Brandon) Once there, the mere look of disgust on his face, at the situation, tells 1000 words, as does his reaction to everything stopping him from going about his life the way he wants – even down to simply going out to the shops.Īlthough struggling to ingratiate himself into the machinations of the home, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with Pete ( Will Rastall), who’s out and about doing community service for a misdemeanour we have yet to discover, add in superb support from Shana Swash and Pixie Le Knot, and I’ve only referenced just half the story as there’s more to find out. Circumstances lead to him having to leave the family home and place him in the alien world of social care, which is also a system that’s been chronically underfunded by successive governments for as long as I can remember. However, life is never fair, and when she passes away, life is going to change more than he ever expected, as the world he knows is ripped away from him.Įarly on, it’s very sad when Luke’s at a loss for what to do in his situation, other than call 999. Not to mention, we get off on slinging unusual produce and rad politics in the marketplace.My Feral Heart centres around Luke ( Steven Brandon, in a superb performance), a young lad with Down’s Syndrome, who dotes on his sick mother and is looking after her in the best way he can. This not only feeds and humbles our feral hearts, but also keeps us plugged in to greater issues of social, economic, and food justice. For us, this looks like growing native, heirloom and perennial food crops starting plants in our nursery for people to put in their own gardens saving many of our own seeds as well as continuing to find innovative ways to use the farm as a tool for community organizing. We continue to look forward to learning how our farm can best serve the people we care about and provide accessible food to the urban communities we live in, while also stewarding our little slice of land. Our farm is 30 minutes from Downtown Oakland and we are able to handpick and deliver fresh produce to your kitchen within hours of it growing in our fields. We are certified organic by CCOF and use composting, companion planting, low to no till methods, perennial polyculture and biodynamic practices to work in conjunction with the natural systems of which we are a part. Bordered by the riparian corridor and near the confluence of the Arroyo de la Laguna and Alameda Creek, we are deeply committed to regenerative organic farming.
We are adjacent to the water temple and part of S.F.ʼs Hetch Hetchy water system. The Ag Park is a collection of 6 small sustainable farm projects each with its own unique focus. We have been there since 2014 and first got certified organic by CCOF in 2015. Our farm is located in the Sunol Ag Park in Sunol, CA, part of occupied Muwekma Ohlone lands.
