50 states.
35,000+ cities and towns. 325.7 million+ people. That's a lot of beauty, culture and adventure to explore. Cue 'America the Beautiful'. A 365 day journey across the fifty states documenting the people, places and things that make each state beautiful and unique. It's two women and one grand adventure. |

So I'm guessing you noticed the 'two women' part in our project vision. I won't beat around the bush... there are two of us.
We're a mother-daughter duo but, for all intents and purposes, we're just one package. We'll take one salary and only Jenni (the cool one in the leather) will take the medical coverage. So it's basically like hiring one person financially but having the benefit of a unique team of passionate, driven creatives ready to change the world. Let me (the cool one in leather again!) tell you a little bit about each of us so you know all about the dynamic duo you'll be working with in the 2019-2020 creative residency program. |
Joanie is the mother part of this mother-daughter duo.
She's a singer turned mom turned teacher turned photographer and all around creative. It's just been in the last two years that she's hit the ground running with her creative passions. Her role in 'America the Beautiful' will be as the photographer who captures the essence of every state through stills. She's also an incredible people-person and will likely be the one performing interviews with people we meet along the way. |
Jenni's the daughter, recent college graduate, passionate storyteller and videographer.
She loves using creative mediums to share the stories of people, places and things, making this project the perfect passion project for her! Her role will be creating the videos for each state and the final 'America the Beautiful' documentary. She's also trained in SEO techniques and will be the one posting the photos and videos online for the creative community to enjoy. |
For 305 days (60 days for planning) we'll be on the road traveling to the 50 states. The purpose is to capture the essence of every state through a series of photos and videos.
For each state we'll create a mini-documentary style travel video to be shared primarily on YouTube and our website. It will showcase the people, places and things we experienced in Maine, California, Iowa... you get the point. That video will be paired with a series of photos and together they will encapsulate that state and what makes it unique and beautiful. Once we've visited every state we'll create one video and a series of fifty photos (one per state) to show how the differences of every state work together to make 'America the Beautiful'. |
