A new documentary of whole grain proportions!
Foodies, Louisiana culture vultures and any one who can appreciate a heaping helping of rice is invited to watch Chef de Riz!
"Chef de Riz" is cajun for "Rice Chef."
Lift the lid off the crock pot and get an inside look at the Southwest Louisiana Cook-Off that attracts chefs from across the country. To win the coveted title of "Rice Chef" contestants must include one secret ingredient in all of their dishes - rice.
Sound easy? Wait until you see the oatmeal cookies, stuffed shrimp, mushrooms and more - all made with rice!
In this documentary short by Jeremy Campbell you'll get an unfiltered look at all the preparation required to earn the coveted honor of "Chef de Riz."
This film is set in Crowley, Louisiana - home of the world's largest tribute to all things rice.
You'll meet an aspiring cook from the "big city" who returns to her small Louisiana hometown with the dream of winning the title.
On the surface "Chef de Riz" is a movie about high-stakes culinary creations and the quest for a coveted blue ribbon.
However once the contest is over family trumps the competition for one aspiring "Rice Chef."
Music by Kelli Johnson, Regia, The Slow & Stead Winner and Eric Normand.
