We love working with the folks at the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts. They are either help support or are responsible for a great number of events in Baltimore City, including the Baltimore Book Festival and the Baltimore Grand Prix. They host the monument lighting, maintain Cloisters Castle, the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower, and Top of the World. But by far, their biggest endeavor is Artscape, a three-day festival of art, music, theater, opera, film, street performance, dance, and of course, funnel cakes.
Both this year and in 2011, Zinnia Films has been honored to support BOPA in their efforts to produce Artscape by being the official video crew for the festival. Last year, our video work served two purposes: both to produce a video as a sizzle piece for the web, and as a video that bundled into their grant application with the NEA, which they were awarded. This year, we only produced a celebration piece, which is below.
