Hey everyone. Thanks for the comments. I'm Daria, the filmmaker. We are working hard and believe in growing the hobby bigger and bigger just like these pumpkins. More to come! Happy to answer any questions.

Just field pumpkins this year. We are busy with the film and I'm growing a baby, so not much time left for giants this year. Are you growing? Next year, we are all in!

Nothing better than to share the love of the giant with the world and this lovely girl has a hell of a canvas and brush.

So.Cal,
I was thinking that you asked about pumpkins at pumpkinhead5's place just so you would have good reason to go hang out in Malibu!

pumpkinhead5,
You can count on my pledge. What a great project.

If anyone has pictures of Howard Dill or visits to the Dill Farm, please send them my way: riseofthegiants@yahoo.com Thanks for all the support. It makes these long hours on the computer much easier.

They already have lots of information and pictures etc ...

What they REALLY need is Money ... more than anything... if you go to the link they tell you how they would spend the money.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/321903148/pumpkin

I'm donating $100 and would encourage you all to donate something also.

$20-$50 from lots and lots of growers would really add up and make all the difference in getting this done.

Way to go , gordon! Yes, let's get this documentary shown. Daria and her husband have documented pumpkin growing so well. The friendships, the thrill of achieving a personal best, the agony of losing a fruit after hours of labor...all parts of growing. We have contributed too. I have sent out to friends that aren't even growers and some of them have contributed.

Still not sure? Wonder why "so much"? Just ask Google:

average cost of a documentary

Thanks for that article Ken! It's true, making films is expensive, but just like growing pumpkins, if the bug bites you, you are hooked.

Thanks for the pledges this mooring. I'm so blown away by all this support!

Just about 24 hours left of our kickstarter campaign. We've already put some of the funds to use getting great interviews with Danny and Diana Dill and even squeezed in a great trip to see Dawn and Bill Northrup. The footage is great! Please help us do all you can these last hours and spread the word. I vow to make every cent well spent. Thank you for your support!
