It has been a wonderful experience this past month working with Julian Khan and Carlie Freeman of Neighborhood Connections to produce the mini documentary, “Banking on Buckeye: Rallying for Huntington Bank,” for Khan’s media outlet A Greater Buckeye. This is the first episode in a series of thoughtful counter-narratives of resiliency, hope, and unlikely connections realized in the Greater Buckeye neighborhood of Cleveland, OH.
We are grateful that this story about neighbors rallying together to keep a bank in their neighborhood has received attention from local community members and media organizations. Communicating efforts like these through filmmaking are incredibly important for the movement towards community resilience and sustainability, and we look forward to filming the next episode!
