Why We're Here: Twin Cities from Seven and Sixty Productions on Vimeo.
This video has been forwarded about by several friends on Facebook, and once you see it I think you'll understand why. Produced by sevenandsixtyproductions.com with Minnesota Culture Club, the video is a mini-quest to find out why Twin Citians endure the harsh winters here over warmer, more hospitable climates.
The result is a romantic tribute to the place we call home... that just happened to be filmed on a warm summer night. It also features an original score by John Munson of the New Standards.
Oh and of course, the arts figure in many people's explanations.
Enjoy! And if you're inspired, share why you're staying put in the Twin Cities.
