ATLANTA, GA - Local video production company donates 15 years of archive footage including VIP interviews, aerials and street photography to The Atlanta History Center’s Digital Program.
As an early adopter of short form video production, Broadcast Atlanta captured dozens of Atlanta’s civic, political, sports, entertainment and business leaders in contextual interviews and events since 2007. Notable examples include Mayors Shirley Franklin, Mayor Kasim Reed, Carol Tome (Home Depot and UPS), Sam Williams (Metro Atlanta Chamber) Ambassador Andrew Young, Laura Turner Seydel and Secretary Sonny Perdue.
The collection includes raw footage and 200 published web shows including “BAD
TV” (Broadcast Atlanta Daily), “The Greener Atlanta Show”, “Decatur Now”, and “Families’ First”.
The evolution of the city’s commitment to sustainability is prominent along other upstart community initiatives such as the inaugural Decatur Book Festival and the Beltline.
