Narrative

I had the honor of producing, filming, and editing a moment in history that I will never forget. The day in which descendants of those who labored at the Monte Verdi Plantation in Rusk, Tx in the 1850's , came back to the estate to pay homage to their ancestors. They also witnessed the unveiling of a Texas Historical Marker, placed on the estate with their ancestors names engraved on it.
