Curt Ellis, 30, is a Peabody-winning filmmaker, writer, and public speaker. Curt co-created and appeared in the Mosaic Films feature documentary King Corn. He travels and speaks about the connections between farm policy, large-scale corn production, family farm loss, and obesity. As part of his Food and Society Fellowship, Curt produced and directed Big River, a 30-minute documentary exploring the water quality impacts of high-intensity farming in the Midwest. That project is currently the subject of a 100-city community screenings campaign. Curt also is co-caretaker of the urban agriculture project Truck Farm, a 20-member CSA he and Ian Cheney operate out of an '86 Dodge pickup. Curt is now focusing his energy on developing FoodCorps, an AmeriCorps School Garden and Farm to School program expected to launch in 2011.
