Franklin County, Florida
This video depicts Franklin County, Florida, which in the Florida Panhandle, about 60 miles from Tallahassee. It was done while on a press trip, organized by the pr firm, Geiger and Associates. The purpose of the trip (and the video) was to undo some of the damage done by the media, which "painted" the entire Gulf Coast with oil, after the BP oil spill. The reality was that Franklin County, and many other Florida Gulf destinations were not affected by the spill but the tourism industry was dramatically affected by the inaccurate media coverage.

ChattanoogaChattanooga
This video was shot while on a press trip, organized by the pr firm, Geiger and Associates. I hadn't been to Chattanooga is about 20 years. Around that time, Chat-town, as it's sometimes called, was voted as one of the dirtiest cities in America. Quite a distinction. In the subsequent 20 years, Chattanooga re-invented itself and cleaned itself up. Today, the city is amazing. It's vibrant and clean, with lots to do. That was the purpose of the press trip....to show the transformation...and that was the purpose of my video.

The Glenn Miller Orchestra, that made the town famous with it's rendition of the song, "Chattanooga Choo Choo," happened to be playing there. They graciously gave me permission to videotape them and use excerpts in my video.
