Aseda at Sundance Film Festival 2012
Aseda means gratitude! Aseda is grateful for the art of filmmaking. Each year the world converges upon Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. This year, Aseda is up front and center at several events, including a few high profile film premieres.
Our participation includes partnering with Whole Foods Market and Tony Caputos Market and Deli as sponsors. The progressive spirit at the core of the Sundance Film Festival speaks directly to the social missions of the Aseda Tribe.
We are proud to be aligned with such films as "Chasing Ice," "The Invisible War," and "Ready to Fly." These movies represent a dedication to fostering awareness and diversity through the art of storytelling. What better way to express our gratitude, than by sharing Aseda Wild Honey at Sundance, while carrying Aseda's message of social responsibility and sustainability.
Keep checking back with us for the latest Aseda news as we kick off 2012 at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
