You Belong Here

DESCRIPTION

You Belong Here is an exploration of memory, generational legacy, and the seasonality of life through the eyes of Chef Ouita Michel. In this series she will delve into universal human themes while celebrating the food, people and places that are the fundamental ingredients of her community. Chef Ouita has held certain truths at her center. Her ethos is built upon the concept of old recipes made by young people in new ways. A deep understanding of heritage and hand to hand learning. With the overriding notion that all are welcome.

Join us for a special screening of the first episode, followed by a conversation with executive producers Steve Zahn, Rick Gomez, and Chef Ouita Michel about the inspiration for the project; the restaurants, organizations, and guests featured throughout the first season; and future plans for the series. They will also discuss the advantages and challenges of producing independent TV and acquiring grant funding.

You Belong Here was sponsored by VisitLEX and Tourism/Team Kentucky.
