Jenna Norwood’s independent film, “Supercharge Me!” won “Best Documentary” at the Tofino Film Festival in British Columbia, “Best Motivational Film” at the Raw Film Festival in Hollywood, CA and was a finalist for “Best Florida Film” at the Central Florida Film Festival. The movie was also an official selection of both the Utopia Film Festival and the Sarasota Film Festival (where it sold more tickets than any other film). The documentary, inspired by “Super Size Me,” is Jenna’s first feature film.
The pre-release version of the feature film is available for $24.95 plus S&H only on the film site. The free “Supercharge Me!” weekly video podcasts may be viewed on the “Supercharge Me!” Web site, as well as most podcast channels, including iTunes, YouTube and MySpace. The podcast features outtakes from the film, “Jenna’s Healthy Kitchen” segments and footage from Jenna’s adventures in the raw food world.
