I am really excited to start working on a documentary short. All of the story ideas so interesting. Some of my favorite ideas are “On the Rise”, “Center City Thrift”, “Bad to the Bone”, and “Reconnecting with our Food. ” I like “On the Rise” because Easton has really started to attract more people. The atmosphere is really picking up. There have been recent restaurant additions like “The Bayou” and “The Oak” that have added a nice touch to Easton’s environment. It would be interesting to research what the city of Easton will do next to increase attractions. “Center City Thrift” would be interesting to explore because of the recent obsession with thrift stores and my generation. It would be cool to find out exactly what kind of an impact this creates for people in the Lehigh Valley. “Bad to the Bone” is also interesting to me because recently people have been using social media platforms, especially Facebook, to spread awareness of animal abuse. I would be curious to see if this is an issue in the Lehigh Valley, if there are any kill shelters, and what people might be doing about that. “Reconnecting with our Food” could potentially tie in and relate to “On the Rise” since many of the most popular attractions in Easton are the amazing restaurants and food places such as the Easton Public Market, Sette Luna, Maxims, and so on. I am interested in seeing how the list will begin to narrow down.
