Charlotte Video Project

 This is another flyer I definitely picked up in Charlotte during the Democratic National Convention. The Charlotte Video Project is or was a pretty neat operation. The idea was to create 100 short documentaries about the city and its culture before the DNC arrived. The videos are just the right length, less then 10 minutes for all of them, less then 5 minutes for most. They are very well produced and they accurately describe the style as "fly on the wall."

I'm not too sure this thing caught on too well, as most of the videos have fewer then 1000 views. It is a shame really since they are pretty darn good. The project did its job showing the culture of the city. They run the gambit from spoken word poetry, to latin cusine, to public opera, to local authors. The length of the videos makes the project very digestible, and the lack of commentary by the project itself lets you see the subject unobstructed by the filmmakers biases.
