Immediately, I thought of Minneapolis, a city that's gone through a lot of scrutiny and negative press in recent years. Teaming up with Nations Stephenson and Ian Tunney, we created this tribute to Minneapolis aimed at showing the beautiful nooks and crannies of the Twin Cities that are less talked about in mainstream media. Filmed on the Sony FX6, Sony A7SIII, and URSA Mini.
