The client

The ARC Exhibit is a creative space on South Main Street in downtown Hopkinsville, Kentucky. It has recording, video, photo, and rehearsal space, plus room for live music and pop up shops. It was founded by Richie Acevedo, who also cofounded the independent label HipHopTown USA.

The work

Richie Acevedo led the overall launch. He picked the political and professional figures he wanted in the film and scheduled the interviews. I filmed every interview and all of the B-roll, prepared more questions to fill in the story, and shaped the footage into one launch film.

Where it was shown

The film premiered at the grand opening for HipHopTown USA's recording studio and The ARC Exhibit, then was published on YouTube.
