Shop, Dine and Stay in Portland, Maine

I’ve been working with the Maine Office of Tourism to produce a series of videos that focus on different cities in Maine. Here is one I just completed, based on Portland. I do a lot of commercial HD video production, web video and podcasts for clients, but it’s always so cool to direct a piece focused on the actual city where you live. See what you think :)

It was a great night and lots of fun, now we have the presentations from the night up on YouTube so you can check them out. Visit the page below and then click on the videos down the right side.
