Bright lights, our city: New docs focus on future of Detroit
Local production company One of Us Films is working on a documentary film that tightens the focus on the potential of smart urbanism around the world. Using the thesis laid out in Detroit Free Press writer John Gallagher’s “Reimagining Detroit,” the documentary looks to Detroit’s future, and to the future of cities everywhere.
Check out a clip from director Carrie LeZotte’s work in progress here. And while you’re in a video-watching mood, check out a preview of another intriguing work in production, Keys to Detroit. We like it, and plan to keep our eyes on both.
