The Kidz' Featured on Raw Success Blog

Raven, Jome, Shale and Adagio, 4 kids from Jinjee and Storm Talifero (number 5 is still too young ;-)) go out in nature for a new episode of Raven's magazine Seagreen Ezine. They sail to the Santa Barbara Channel Islands to photograph Elephant Seals! Watch how these 4 home schooled kids learn. I think every child would love to live a life like this.

Go on Raven, Jome, Shale, Adagio, little Yarrow, Jinjee and Storm with this lifestyle and education. You are inspiring everybody, by doing things most people only dare to dream of.

--Thank you Annet!

Island of Seals! - The Kidz, Episode 1

The first episode of The Kidz is ready for you to watch now!!!



When a TV network approached us recently about making a show with our kids, we gave it some thought but realized that we would actually be helping sell junk food to kids! Wrestling with this situation made us realize that we ourselves should produce a show starring our children! Here we have this wonderful cast of kids who are already well-known in the raw world at least, and we already have a home studio and the ability to do productions! - So, it was one of those no-brainers! We took one of our kids' many wildly creative ideas and turned it into the pilot show for a new series that we are airing on our website! - I love the Internet! Isn't it amazing that we little people actually have the ability to produce and air our own entertainment! I still can't get over working from home - and now I get to work with my children too!!!



In the first episode you'll learn a bit about each child's character, and see the kids planning a journey to get shots of harbor seals for their online magazine, Sea Green eZine. They borrow their parents' boat, sail to the islands, and have to do a long hike to get to the seal beach. They sleep in nature and forage for wild foods, so here you'll learn what delicious wild miner's lettuce looks like. They find elephant seals and you'll see some beautiful footage of Raven getting her close-ups with these giant seals!



This show is for people who are tired of junk food and medication ads in the shows their kids watch! This show is a wonderful outdoors adventure sit-com! It was also developed by kids for kids, with a lot of help from their parents' studio. This show incorporates live raw food, home-schooling, and bringing children up to thrive in the new millennium. Kids will learn about nature, wilderness, animals, ecology, the environment, endangered species, travel, geography, world cultures, health, survival skills, and much more!



But it is also the things you don't see in this show that count! Not only won't you see any junk food, meat, animal products, processed food, or cooked food, but you also won't see any violence, negative attitudes, or any commercials except for some fruit breaks!

At the same time, it is just as entertaining as the TV shows your kids love. I can't tell you how much fun we're having making this series! I'll be putting up some behind-the-scenes out-takes on youtube soon!



I know people really like our instructional DVDs and eBooks, but when you are trying to live a raw vegan lifestyle in a cooked world, it is also important to surround yourself with a new level of entertainment, - one that isn't built around and funded by the very foods that are making our society so sick.

If you enjoy the show, please forward this email to other parents, groups, and people online who want better programming for their kids! We all want to spend more time with our children. But when we need some head-space, most of us inevitably put them in front of a show - whether its on TV, DVD, or the Internet. Let's at least put them in front of a show where they will not only learn something, but where they won't be programmed by the corporations that run the media!

By charging only $2.48 per episode we can offer this show for next to nothing, and yet if we get enough people to sign up, we can go to really fun exotic places and film and bring you a really entertaining and educational weekly show!

If we do really well, then we'll hire other raw vegan kids and families from our newsletter subscriber-base to guest-star in the show! If you are interested in coming aboard for an episode email me!



It is our goal for a million people to become subscribers to this show. Then we'll be able to fund other projects like the Raw Vegan Village with a raw school and retreat center, scientific research on raw foods, and our sailing journey collecting seeds, planting trees, and documenting the fruit of the world. We'd like this show to be like the Cosby Show of the green age. If this sit-com does only a fraction as well as the network shows, we'll still be successful with it, as we don't have to give the lion's share to the network. Please watch it and let us know what you think of the show on our forum at http://naturalparadigms.com/phpBB3/index.php

Eventually we would like to have a whole station with wholesome children's shows, hiring other producers to help populate the channel with a whole new level of content. It could be like a green Disney Channel. If this is something you would like to see happen, sign up for this show and spread the word! Forward this email on!

We're also collecting footage for the show of real life kids from all over the world playing in nature! This'll be a great way for kids to get a glimpse of other cultures within an entertaining context.

Although aimed at kids, this is a "family" show that people of all ages will enjoy!

"The Kidz!"

The Kidz is about four homeschooling siblings who start an internet magazine called For Kids By Kids. Their parents are working on their own home business and they barely notice what the kids are up to half the time. The kids are very resourceful and competent. And as their online magazine starts to grow they go to further and further lengths to get content for each new issue.

This is a new type of children's program that uses a professional production studio to produce a show that kids do a lot of the writing and concept work on. One of the things that we are going to do to give this show a totally unique look is to invite children from different cultures all around the world to film segments and send them to us to edit into the show's episodes. We will write script for them so the international segments will fit in with and be consistent with the whole story.



Says Jinjee "We are showing kids doing what every kid dreams of - having grand adventures on their own! This series is about four children (Raven aged 13, Jome aged 10, Shale aged 7 and Adagio aged 3) who take their parents' boat out to sea and have wonderful adventures. They are mischievious, brilliant and resourceful children who solve problems and even help others through thinking outside the box. The theme of this story is nature adventures! In their travels collecting photographs for their online magazine, something exciting always happens, some challenge always comes up, and they always learn something new. We will be filming in the most beautiful nature places! The show really feels like it could be a remedy for Nature Deficit Disorder".



Now children will have something to look at that's not full of junk food product placement and advertising, yet that is totally exciting and geared to them!

Instead of commercials, the show will be peppered with Random Moments, little asides in which the kidz demonstrate how to do crafts, recipes, and educational projects.

We feel that by providing an alternative style of programming, every homeshooling, vegetarian, vegan and raw vegan parent in the country can be comfortable with their children watching this show.

This is a raw food show that isn't preachy - it makes the raw vegan lifestyle cool, exciting, and fun! Kids watching this series will learn even while they are being entertained - a bit about how to grow food, prepare food, forage for wild foods, heal with juicing and herbs, nature survival, physical fitness, navigation, sailing, geography, meteorology, physics, math, entrepreneurialism, and many other things that children of this new millenium will need in this changing world.

We are looking for cast! If you are in Southern California and you would like to be in an episode, drop us a line. We are looking for actresses and actors from the ages of 4 to 140. If you live in another part of the world and have a video camera, we can write you into the script, send it to you, and you can film it and send it back to us, and we will edit you and/or your kids into the show. The cast can interact on screen with the kidz through internet video conferencing.

You can order the first four episodes now for only $9.95! The first show will be up online on Monday March 10th for you to download. We will be putting up a new 20-minute episode every week! The video format is m4v/ipod/podcast and works across all platforms and browsers. If you can see the trailer at the top of this page, you'll be able to see the show!
