TofC PRODUCTIONS

For years, Danielle and her former partner pre-produced and coordinating food and travel based content on various platforms. They worked with editorials, award-winning chefs, authors, production companies, and food and travel tv personalities. While living in Paris they took on the job as field coordinators for many award winning food and travel based tv shows (No Reservations, The Layover, The Mind of a Chef, I’ll What Phil’s Having, Food Paradise International, and more), websites (TheScene.com, Tastemade.com), and magazines (Condé Nast Traveler, Bon Appetit, Citizens of Humanity).  The two scouted all locations and pre-produced every last detail for these productions starting with Anthony Bourdain’s Burgundy episode of the Emmy award winning, “No Reservations”. Bourdain’s team were the first to discover them while searching for a lamb farm to film in Burgundy and stumbled across their story of the charming Ferme de Clavisy in Noyers, France. They quickly hired them for what turned out to be a great adventure and the beginning of many lasting friendships and collaborations. 

After a lot of experience working in the genre, the time came for them to create their own food based short film. The short film is called "Prestige Ingredients" and stars indie actress, Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development).  They have many unique tales that will come alive with the moving image and many musician friends to create original scores.

Now that Danielle has returned to California after many years abroad in Paris, she has teamed up with many new and old friends to continue her work in the field. Danielle and her team are equipped and ready to work with you on your event, photo shoot, fashion show, art exhibition, tv or film series, magazine or creative project. They have the talent, experience and resources to supply outstanding photography, film/videography, original music, set design, writing, location scouting and more. Her new experiential retreat company is launching in 2019 and will be linked to this site!

Here are a few behind the scenes photos from her time working with Anthony Bourdain and his team at Zero Point Zero productions. These were taken in the Burgundy region of France as well as a couple of thier favorite places in Paris.
