Award-Winning Filmmaker Releases Short Documentary For Cinema Prospérité Competition.
Common Sense Films, the Wilmington, North Carolina-based filmmakers behind the EMMY® nominated feature documentary “The Fort Fisher Hermit” has released its most recent documentary. “The Full Belly Project,” a five-minute documentary short directed by Rob Hill is about Jock Brandis’ efforts fighting hunger and extreme poverty. His trip to an African village in 2002 and a chance meeting with a village woman resulted in a breakthrough low-tech device, the Universal Nut Sheller.
