LOCAL MARKETING AGENCY WORKS WITH CALIFORNIA FLOWER GROWERS TO CREATE SHORT-FILM “FARM TO FLOAT: THE MAKING OF CALIFORNIA GROWN ROSE PARADE ENTRIES”.

MORRO BAY, Calif. – (January 14, 2020) – Local marketing agency, Rock Harbor Marketing, teamed up with Morro Bay video production company, Room for Cream Films, for 6 days in Pasadena to create “Farm to Float”, a short-film documenting the journey of California Grown Flowers from farmland to the streets of Pasadena for the 2020 Rose Parade. Premiering online Saturday, January 18th at noon. 

It’s a 130-year-old tradition – the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day. In 2020, 65 million people watched the parade and dozens of flower-adorned floats make their way down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, California. But what does it take to create these entries? Where do the flowers come from, and how do they make it from the flowers fields to the decorating pavilions in Southern California? “Field to Float” shares the story of how California flower farmers contribute to this worldwide tradition, focusing on the parade entries that earned California Grown Certification in 2020. The certification indicates that an entry features at least 85 percent of flowers grown in the Golden State. In the case of the award-winning Cal Poly Universities float, that number was 94 percent California Grown and over 32,000 stems, all donated by flower farmers. Watch to see the beauty and bounty of California flowers and how they make this annual tradition come to life!

The film will be available at noon, Saturday, January 18th, through the California Cut Flower Commission Youtube channel youtube.com/user/CutFlowerCommission. It will also be showcased at a series of Film Festivals over the next year.
