Looking for dumpster divers

For a documentary film project on foodwaste we are trying to contact
dumpster divers in The Netherlands (specially in Amsterdam and Leiden) who
could show us how dumpster diving in the Netherlands is. Are there any people in Casa Robino interested in taking us on a dumpster diving tour?

At the End of June we will be in the Netherlands and we are desperately looking for dumpster divers that we can meet then! (Between 30. June and 2. July) Please contact us! Here you can see who we are and what we do:

We would be very happy if we found a couple of people in the netherlands willing to participate in this international project trying to combat Food Waste

Best wishes,
Karin

thanks for your request. We

thanks for your request. We shortly discussed this over dinner last night with the people who are currently here and there wasn't much enthousiasm.

We already have had 3 times a documentary team joining us for dumpstering and eating together. That's already quite a lot. We also think that maybe it is time for us to film the filmers while they go to recycle ;)

We normally also first get to know the film-makers ourselves and we want them to get to know us. The I-come-to-film-some-dancing-monkeys-and-I-leave-again attitude is not really what we like here either. That's just waste for us.

Another option may be for you to come and stay and be part of the community, do some dumpstering yourself and film at the same time. But for that there needs to be some trust and understanding what will happen with the rights of the movie, etc.

I guess you understand.
