Homewood Homie Report

The Homie Report
By Homewood Mountain Resort
Winter 2020-21

This project was my baby. I conceptualized each video topic in the series, and then brainstormed with the marketing team. From there I wrote scripts, filmed, acted, solicited interviews, edited, and promoted to various online platforms.
