Thank you to everyone who’s supported us, and the Easter Bunny so far.
Please note: the campaign email address is MINE: hmorrow@takeabite.ca . Contact screenwriter Heather with any questions or for information about the film!
You have 2 weeks left to get your Easter chocolate bought here, AND support our next film at the same time, as long as you live in Edmonton. Deadline to order is March 24.
Maybe you know someone in Edmonton who’s not into artsy films…but is VERY into chocolate.
Point them our way for Easter candy, and YOU get to come to our virtual screening of Nowhere Normal.
The website asks you to register as a supporter / customer, and then you can click on Marketplace (the Easter catalogue) or form. Purdy’s doesn’t keep your information – we called them and checked!
TWO THINGS about our Easter chocolate fundraiser:
1. The website to order chocolate is very confusing. Some supporters have said that the amount of information required makes it look like THEY’RE setting up a campaign! The site asks for addresses and such in case WE need to deliver to YOU on April 7, and it asks you to create a password in case you want to come back and order more. If you’re still not sure about buying off the Purdy’s website, we have an alternative event coming up.
2. Take a Bite’s short film Nowhere Normal isn’t available to the general public yet, because it’s still on the festival circuit.
However, any supporters of our first fundraiser will receive an invitation to our upcoming virtual screening…for FREE.
So click here to get your Easter shopping done, and get VIP access to Nowhere Normal early!
Your Monday will be made a tiny bit better by an event announcement tomorrow.
In the meantime, get your Easter candy shopping done early, and support our next short film, Reasons I Hate Being Single, but clicking here.
We’ll shortly be releasing a PLAN video – showing what Take a Bite’s next TWO projects will be.
In the meantime, to make our next short film, we do need some money. If you live in Edmonton, and want to get chocolate for Easter, when you buy it from us, we get a cut!

Seen from the sky, unspeakably beautiful. Puffs of white cloud floating over green mountains, blue water and red roofs. The airport’s very basic – the thought seems to be “you came for the beach, not the airport,” which is true. I couldn’t find the train into town, but the sweetest woman at a bus stop told me exactly how to get to my hostel – bus, tram, which stops, how much it was. The bus driver spoke NO English, but was checking up on me throughout the trip. I wondered if people in Nice were normally so quiet, or is a full bus usually be more chatty? I got checked in, went for a walk, and wanted to take photos of EVERY street and building. The SMELL – melting butter, melting chocolate, salami, smoked salmon, coffee beans being ground. All the women look they’ve just come from a photo shoot. All the men look as if they’re just going to or coming back from the gym. Everyone has a dog, most are French bulldogs. Too many people smoke…yet the cigarettes smell good too. Hearing French everywhere is amazing. I sat on a bench yesterday for lunch – just a banana, chips and goat cheese – and started giggling, then welling up. There are also police and soldiers everywhere, all carrying machine guns. The French flag is at half-mast. I find it’s comfortably bustling, but was told that this time of year, normally you can barely make it down the street.
