Draft:Crush: Message in a Bottle

  • Comment: This still hasn't had any new WP:GNG-worthy sourcing added since the last time it was rejected. TVO's self-published press release is still there even though I explained last time that it isn't acceptable sourcing, because it's a directly-affiliated source and not third-party coverage — and the only new things that have been added are podcasts in which Maya Gallus is talking about her own film in the first person, not GNG-building third-party coverage in real media, even though the first reviewer also already told you not to use podcasts.
    So we still only have the exact same two acceptable sources as last time, and that's still not enough. Bearcat (talk) 01:59, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: You have not markedly improved the draft since the last time it was rejected. The footnotes are to primary sources directly affiliated with the claims -- the self-published catalogues of film festivals that screened the film do not establish notability, and neither do TVO's own press releases announcing the scheduling of its own "TVO Original" programming. Notability requires third-party media coverage in third-party sources, fully independent of the claims being made -- so The Globe and Mail and POV are fine, but still not in and of themselves enough, and you haven't added anything new that counts at all.

  • Comment: This might be notable but it needs a lot of work. The refs to film festivals and primary sources should be removed, podcasts too. Any independent film reviews and other news coverage should be used as refs. BuySomeApples (talk) 01:04, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

"Crush: Message in a Bottle" is a cinematic documentary following a year in the life of artisanal winemakers and growers during one of the most historically difficult harvests in the Niagara region.[1]

Featuring winegrower Ann-Marie Saunders (whose Jamaican-lineage family are pioneers in the region, dedicated to labour intensive regenerative farming)[2], winemaker Kelly Mason (a first generation female farmer devoted to the risky, hands on craft of low intervention wild ferment winemaking), winemaker Shiraz Mottiar (celebrated as the "King of Gamay", who actively promotes diversity and sustainability in the industry), as well as esteemed winemaker Thomas Bachelder[3] (trained in Burgundy, now dedicated to exploring the various terroir of the Niagara region).[4]

The film premiered at the Devour: the Food Film Fest! on October 28, 2023, followed by several international film festival screenings, including the Santa Barbara Film Festival and the Most Festival internacional de Cinema del Vi i el Cava in the Penedes where it received the Sustainability Award.[5]
