We visit the Portland Oregon grocery store where many of the cashiers and baggers hold advanced degrees. Could your next bagger actually be a lawyer?

Good job! Reminds me how Starbucks is always bragging that most of its employees are college grads.

nice flow to this film!

Interesting piece. It may be too local to generate enough votes, but still it is a worthwhile effort. I green lighted it, but there are a couple of issues: The framing of Claudia Knotek is unusual, but it works. You might, however, wish to show less of her face and use the soundtrack as a voice over. The shot of the biodiesel vans, for example, is very hurried. More images as she is talking would help to maintain visual interest. The other point is that I feel that there is some lack of clarity as to exactly what the producer wants to achieve with this video. So I think there is space to refine the message. Still, I liked the piece and wish you good luck!

i wish you had more interviews with actual staff. This felt a bit slow at times... needs a bit more spice. Still. Not bad. GL.
