Bancroft asked me to help them create a video entry for TV Ontario's search to find "Ontario's Most Talented Town." This video won first prize and gave Bancroft the right to claim that it is the most talented town in Ontario. I shot it over a day in Bancroft with Chris FitzSimons producing and edited over a weekend to get it in for the Monday morning deadline.
