Grant: $1,500The Celebration Ensemble will use their grant to create a professional full-length video and two-minute promotional video clip of their first original feature-length show, Thumbs Up, a comedic and visually captivating production that follows 20 year-old aspiring-writer Lexi up the Maine coast as she hitchhikes her way to Canada. Both videos will be duplicated onto a promotional DVD in full-color packaging. This DVD will then be used to market Thumbs Up to performing arts venues across the United States. The funding will enable them to expand the recording to a three camera shoot with two camera operators and to edit a full-length video and promotional teaser video.
