Overview
A short film — a vision for the city of Orange, New Jersey. Place, people, and possibility shaped into a cinematic story about where a community has been and where it could go.
The Challenge
A city's future is abstract until you can see it. The film's task was to make a vision for Orange feel tangible and shared — a story of place, not a list of promises.
Creative Direction
Direction shaped cinematography, narration, pacing, and music into a single arc — the streets, faces, and texture of Orange carrying the argument. A vision told as a place, not a pitch.
