These short documentaries were created for the Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau’s rebrand to Visit Arlington and its accompanying “Are You In?” campaign. The series was designed to showcase the people, places, and local culture that make Arlington distinct, highlighting the city’s diversity, warmth, and range of experiences through the voices of the people who live and work there.

Taking a documentary approach while incorporating the pacing, visual language, and accessibility of social-first filmmaking, the videos were built to feel authentic, engaging, and native to the platforms they would live on. I directed, shot, and edited the series, working to balance character-driven storytelling with a strong visual sense of place.
