A peek inside the lives of everyday vegans.
Whether they do it for health, the environment, or animal rights, the majority of vegans are just regular folks. A Day in the Life tells the stories of these everyday vegans. If that’s you, please consider participating.
“A Day in the Life… will feature vegans of all stripes, revealing and displaying our daily lives, and demonstrating that we are not from another planet after all, but live, participate, and enjoy our lives much like everyone else. The key word is participate: just as vegans participate fully in our society, this brilliant new grassroots documentary calls us to take our cameras in our hands and help co-create the film we want the world to see. In A Day in the Life…, every vegan is a star for the animals, and we can co-star in this unique and promising collaboration. Let’s do this for the animals and for all of us!”
– Dr. Will Tuttle, best-selling educator and author, The World Peace Diet

About THE PROJECT
A documentary about the life of a Vegan
A Day in the Life is a documentary film project about everyday vegans. The documentary will be a collection of crowdsourced videos of vegans going about their daily lives to showcase that vegans come from all walks of life and are no different than the rest of the world except for their relationship to non-human animals.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Day in the Life… is a documentary film project about everyday vegans. The documentary will be a collection of crowdsourced videos of vegans going about their daily lives to showcase that vegans come from all walks of life and are no different than the rest of the world except for their relationship to non-human animals.
A Day in the Life… is the brainchild of filmmaker, Kamal S. Prasad, who serves as the writer and director on this project. Some other people involved with the making of this documentary are Zehra Abbas (Producer), Ronnie ‘Tsunami’ Gandiza (Producer) and Sheryl Leighton (Associate Producer).
There is no way to ensure that videos submissions will be from 100% vegans. However, our guess is that non-vegans are unlikely to go through the trouble of making fake videos on the off chance that we might choose to use their footage. The video will be edited by long term vegans who will do their best to spot inconsistencies in footage that might give away someone trying to troll the project.
In addition, when submitting the videos, participants will have to fill out a questionnaire in which we’ll ask them to provide their social media pages (which will be kept private) so our staff can evaluate whether their public profiles align with their claims of veganism. If someone goes through the effort of making a compelling video about being vegan but aren’t 100% vegan themselves, we think it speaks to their aspirations of living a more compassionate, healthy and socially equitable life. We believe in nurturing those aspirations and not creating unrealistic barriers that keep people from continuing to move toward living as cruelty-free as possible.
If you’d like to help with the film project aside from (or in addition to) submitting video(s), we are looking for volunteers to help us out with (WordPress) web design, social media, graphics, marketing, and promotion. If you have ideas or skills that could contribute to the success of the documentary, we’d love to hear from you. You will, of course, receive credit on the website and in the film.
Of course, please share our project with anyone who might be interested in participating or supporting us in other ways.
