MOMENTS THAT MAKE A TOWN

Commissioned by the City of Farmington, I set out to capture the soul of a small town through its people. From the buzz of the local farmers market to the quiet history nestled in old mansions, this project connected city pride to visual storytelling. I interviewed local business owners, city leaders, and even the mayor, creating a documentary-style piece that served as both a time capsule and a tool for civic engagement, timed to honor the city’s bicentennial year. The final video continues to play as part of the pre-show reel at Farmington’s historic Civic Theater.
