A Journey Through Food and Fun
I've had the privilege of filming recap videos at GR8 Food Truck Fridays for the last three years! It's been incredible to witness the vibrant atmosphere at Riverside Park in Grand Rapids. The event has grown tremendously, moving to a new location and adding live music to the mix. This has truly become a gem for the community, and I love everything it has to offer.
Expanding the Experience
This year, I decided to take my videos a step further. In addition to covering the event, I began conducting short interviews with attendees and vendors. You can find a playlist with over 20 videos, available in both wide and reel formats.
Check Out the Interviews
It's been amazing to see how these businesses start with a specific goal in mind. Their passion motivates me to help small businesses thrive. It also encourages me to think independently and grow ideas I believe in. Personally, this experience has helped me gain valuable skills in filming on-the-go interviews and editing their stories into engaging social media content.
The Impact of Community Events
While these videos may not 'go viral' or be 'trending', my goal is to help spread the word for every business and event I work with. Each story matters, and I believe that sharing them can make a difference.
Why Supporting Local Matters
Supporting local businesses is essential for building a strong community. When we invest in our neighbors, we help create jobs and foster a sense of belonging. Each food truck, vendor, and attendee contributes to the unique tapestry of our local culture.
