Pony Express Love Letters

Back in February I created a community project called Pony Express Love Letters at the museum where I work. People were invited to come in and type a love letter on our vintage typewriter, become inspired by books of poetry, and we would deliver them to recipients in the downtown area via the local bike share program, BCycle. I wrote an article about the project which was featured in a local online news source.

At the time, a new acquaintance contacted me to ask if he could film me delivering the letters because he loved the idea. His name is Roger, from Rogy Productions, and he made a beautiful video highlighting the project and the museum.

Two weeks ago Roger's film about my project was screened at the San Antonio Film Commission's Neighborhood Film Project and won a first place distinction! Everyone at the museum loves the video, and it's being shared on social media, and featured on the Rivard Report's website as well. I'm excited this collaboration has gained a lot of attention and I'm proud of the result that was created through some very innovative teamwork.

Enjoy the film and let me know what you think:
