When I heard the Vegucated tour was coming to Los Angeles, I knew I had to go. I grabbed my fellow veggie friend Fiona and we headed to the premiere.
I had read about Marisa Miller Wolfson (writer/directer) and all the amazing work she does in the vegetarian community before and I couldn't wait to see what she had to say in a film... I was not disappointed! Marisa delivers a film that is not only educating, but hilariously funny. Yeah, I know, how do you make a movie about veganism funny, but somehow she does! The film follows three average New Yorkers who volunteer to go vegan for six weeks. Marisa cast the movie perfectly! The three characters Tesla, Brian and Ellen are very easy to relate to and most importantly keep it light and are funny. Which is very difficult to do with the films content.
Check out the Vegucated website for details about when the film will be coming to your city.
The premiere was so much fun! We got to eat so many fabulous vegan delights! My favorite vegan restaurant in LA, Sun Cafe was there serving canapes and kale smoothies (which are out of this world!) If you live in Los Angeles and you haven't been here, you are missing out on the best raw vegan food I've ever had!
There were also delicious treats by Obsession Confection Disorder, So Delicious, Earth Cafe, and Frey wines. Such a fabulous evening!
Make sure you check out the movie!!
GORGEOUS!
