Eye Spy was invited to the Bon Appétit & Belvedere Vodka Grub Crawl in Los Angeles. This was one of the best experiences we have had and a huge thank you to Belvedere Vodka for the invite. The Crawl took you on an interactive food tour at the intersection of fame, fortune, and flavor. Savor food, we hung out with influential chefs, and got our hands dirty. The crawl gave us the opportunity to go behind the scenes of the kitchen-with the chefs-to see where the magic happens.

The Tour

With just days to go on Kickstarter, "The Tour" an aspiring indie feature film, by Jeremy Mitchell, captures the journey of young tennis players as they navigate the circuit of minor league tennis. Produced by Mitchell and Brad Benedict, "The Tour" as stated by Mitchell is about "everyday people," minor league tennis players with "no control over their destiny, who show up every day, giving it their all and giving up their need to be big and successful," all for the love of the game. The film explores the highs and lows, drama, emotion and financial burden undergone by young tennis players.

Working as a commercial actor to fund his tennis career, Mitchell met Benedict on the set of an NCAA commercial, in which they bonded over their shared experiences as minor league tennis players gone actors, in order to support their tennis dreams. Both Mitchell and Benedict felt their story and the story of other aspiring tennis players needed to hear, leading the duo to create the film.
