Filmed around the historic St. Anthony Main area of Minneapolis on an unusually warm winter day in early 2026, this Instagram Reel captures the city bathed in the golden light of late afternoon and sunset.

Created during a challenging time for the community, the video was intended as a small reminder to pause, take in the beauty around us, and find moments of hope even in the middle of a cold and uncertain winter. Through atmospheric visuals and the warmth of the setting sun, the reel offers a brief, reflective portrait of Minneapolis and the resilience of the people who call it home.

A personal short-form video project exploring mood, light, place, and the power of visual storytelling to offer a moment of connection and optimism.
