Want to Share some Videos?
All of our program videos for each event are the work of people that have been planning and working on them – sometimes for months – so your time is not wasted on stupid or uninteresting or blatantly promotional stuff. If people happen to be selling a book, or product or online classes or consultation services or generating customers or clients for a restaurant or bar or organization they are encouraged to include that in their videos. We can’t pay people what their time and efforts are really worth, so we encourage them to get the most out of the experience, even if it’s just learning how to present themselves.

You need to plan. Start filming now.
The actual process of fermenting and culturing can take time. Sometimes, days, often weeks, a few take months or years. So start filming now and send us a very small 30 second clip so we can’t prevent you from wasting a lot of time producing an inaudible or unviewable video. That happens all the time, and it can be easily prevented.
So if you would like to be involved with #Zymes2021plan now and let us know! kojiandpickles@gmail.com
