Clarke County, Virginia Tourism

Clarke County, Virginia wanted a tourism film that felt like a weekend there. The agency Imagine DC brought me in to make it.

“I showed the two videos to my joint board. They loved it.”

Michelle Ridings, Director of Economic Development & Tourism, Clarke County

01 / The project

The project

I shot over three days in late August, in 100-degree heat. Burwell-Morgan Mill, Audley Farm at 6am, the Appalachian Trail, Watermelon Park and Dinosaur Land. The people on screen are local families.

The film runs on experienceclarkecounty.com. In 2026 I re-edited it to swap out a business that had since closed, and the county still posts it every month.
