Mini Donut Madness

By Matthew Dringenberg

Edmonton is such a beautiful city with so much going on. I was very excited when I found out there was a chance for me to go out with my video camera and film all the aspects of Edmonton and then share it with other people. I feel that most of my story is told through the lens and that my spoken word just adds that little bit to it.

I love summertime in Edmonton and all the different festivals that are happening around the city. My best memories of the city are when I was young and being so excited to go to Klondike Days and experience one of the biggest festivals going on in the city. As I grew up, I started to partake in the arts culture that is really starting to take shape in Edmonton. I love going to the Fringe, Nextfest, and the Street Performers festival and watching what all that local artists have to offer.

I hope to be able to start my own video production business in Edmonton and contribute to a city that is always expanding and changing. Everywhere you look, this city is growing. Not only do I hope that Edmonton will have an impact on me, but I also hope that I can leave my mark on the city and make it a better place than it already is today.

I have had a number of people ask me where I got the footage for my video. I am happy to say that all of it is original and that this really is my passion. I love filming and video editing and I was so excited to make a vid about Edmotnon.

Hey my main man. I miss you but since this is a public form i got to keep it professional, just like your video. Really well done. You just keep pushing the envelope. i love it. I wish i could have been there watching from a distance. Instead, i am voting from a distance. Everytime i get access to internet you got a vote. One from Copenhagen, and now Cairo. They should count for more because of the distance but i will talk to Mayor Mandel personally about that one. Way to go Matt. Keep up the good work.
