Vittles contributor’s D.L. Anderson and Mikel Barton recently spent a day in prison, filming food services instructor Nancy Gould and her students as they prepared and catered a volunteer appreciation dinner at Orange Correctional Center in Hillsborough, N.C. The forthcoming short doc is being produced in partnership with INDY Week and the Southern Foodways Alliance.

A long-time inspiration for our own work, SFA selected the Vittles story pitch as one of ten web-ready docs to support for a series that will be presented on their site in mid-May. Brooke Darrah Shuman will be editing the piece with a soundtrack by Orange Correctional’s own Ready Singers, pictured above.
