Why We're Here: Twin Cities

This short film touches on a lot of the key reasons as to why one would call the twin cities home. I was born and raised 15 minutes south of the twin cities and moved to minneapolis a few years back. i love it here and although id like to move away some day, to experience the world, im sure that minneapolis will always be my home.

With all the possibilities around the world, what is the “it” that keeps people here in the Twin Cities? We suspected the answer to the question "Why We're Here" was both simple and incredibly nuanced -- worthy of art. We took our camera to the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul to find people willing to talk, unscripted, on film. The result is our collective love poem to the Twin Cities.

Why We're Here: Twin Cities is a six-minute film that explores what unites us, and unites us here, in the Twin Cities. Filmed on location the spring and summer of 2010 in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, the film features an original score by John Munson of the New Standards, the Twilight Hours, Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare.
