Columbus
Underrated by everyone except the people who live there.
Columbus is on the shortlist. The kind of city this format was built for: plenty happening, and almost nobody filming it properly. Swap this copy for the real case before the list goes public.
Nothing is booked here yet. A city moves off the shortlist when the people, the rooms and the partners line up — and knowing who we should meet is the part we need help with.
If we come
What a week in Columbus looks like
We pick a city
Somewhere with a Haitian community doing more than it gets credit for. We go there instead of covering it from somewhere else.
We find the people
Days on the ground with the people, businesses and places that hold the community together — many of them nominated by the city itself.
We fill the rooms
Live nights built with the city, not dropped on it — a mixer, a conversation, the show, a stage. What the week holds changes from city to city.
The city keeps the guide
Everything is cut after we leave. The films and the city guide land here together and stay — a permanent record of Haitian presence in that city.
