The Locals: Trail Talk in Minneapolis
The Locals is a short sizzle reel of outdoor enthusiasts that call Minneapolis and St Paul home. Across two days and 4 locations, all within 20 minutes of the OR show, a group of runners, riders, and paddlers show you their city the way a friend would, mixing cinematic landscapes with honest, on-trail conversation. It’s a guide, a portrait, and an invitation all in one.
I really want to lean into the VLOG/Selfie/Podcast conversational interviews for the “friends showing you around” vibe.
