Videographer Brian Cox tapes a city event for local television viewing.Reading about Alrick Brown's Sundance success, something about Visigoth Pictures sounded familiar.
It was back last summer that Brown's company was one of three respondents to a request for proposals for videography services for the city. Visigoth stated a fee of $200 per hour. Another was a Georgia company, Video Artis Productions, that was less expensive at $173.75 per hour, but wanted travel expenses as well.
The third was BC Productions of Plainfield, which emerged as the successful vendor at $100 per hour and has been videotaping City Council meetings and public events ever since.
Brown was thus spared the tedium of waiting for council executive sessions to be over and for meetings to end at midnight or later. Now that his film, Kinyarwanda, has won acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, Brown most likely will be busy finding a distributor. His only presence at a council meeting is likely to be to accept accolades as he did recently, along with wishes for more success in the future.
