Bricktown Brewery Chats and Snacks in Edmond

In this Chats and Snacks segment of Uncovering Oklahoma, I had lunch with the President and CEO of Bricktown Brewery, Buck Warfield. At the new location in Edmond, we discussed and sampled the new Twisted Comfort Food menu items.

I’ve retooled the Chats and Snacks segment as a way for more established local restaurants to share what’s new with them. This is my first video filmed using two Pansonic GH-5 cameras! In the past Chats and Snacks, I’ve had one GH4 and one GH5 and so I would have to spend some time color matching and clip joining, but with two of the same cameras, it saved me time and it looks amazing.

Waters Edge Winery

Guests of Waters Edge Winery can enjoy custom wines from international grapes yet fermented, bottled and corked in Oklahoma City’s Automobile Alley! In addition to the wine tasting, Waters Edge Winery hosts events, bottling parties, and allows to make your own wine.

In this week’s video, I interviewed Sarah Edwards, Roger Cude, and Connor Meek about the urban chic-industrial winery.

The New Art: A Milestone Collection Fifty Years Later

Get a sneak peek of “The New Art: A Milestone Collection Fifty Years Later” at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art with curator, Roja Najafi in these social media videos I filmed for the museum.

I also created an Instagram version as well, fitting the platform’s criteria.

In 1968, the Oklahoma Art Center, OKCMOA’s predecessor, purchased the 154-piece permanent collection of the Washington Gallery of Modern Art (WGMA), the first art museum in the nation’s capital dedicated to the collection of contemporary art. That decision transformed Oklahoma City’s collection of contemporary art.

On February 17, 2018, on OKCMOA’s first floor, The New Art: A Milestone Collection Fifty Years Later honors this extraordinary collection on this major anniversary, presenting longstanding Museum highlights by Ellsworth Kelly, Richard Diebenkorn, Grace Hartigan, Sam Gilliam, Robert Indiana, and Paul Reed, along with the rarely shown works by Morris Louis and Lee Bontecou. Their work, and the work of many other artists, forms the Oklahoma City Museum of Art’s outstanding collection of postwar American art from the 1950s and 1960s.

Belle Kitchen (Re-Edit)

For delicious handmade macarons, pastries, gourmet doughnuts, Belle Kitchen in Oklahoma City makes their treats completely from scratch using only the best ingredients from simple recipes.

This is a re-edited video that I originally shot back in 2016 hence why some of the shots and sound aren’t as smooth. The weather and scheduling conflicts have prevented me from making a new video this week so I hope you enjoy this one! If you haven’t watched last week’s video about venues worth renting in Oklahoma City, go watch that too. If you want something new and unreleased, over at Patreon I shared the raw interviews of a new series.

Stay warm!

Oklahoma City Event Venues

For this week’s video, I’ve highlighted several different places in Oklahoma City where you can host your next event. This story doesn’t include every single event venue available for rent, but it does showcase a wide variety of options and price points. Featured in this video is V2 at Vast, Plenty, the OKC Boathouses, The Paramount Room, Will Rogers Theatre, Myriad Botanical Gardens, The Farmers Market, and PhotoArt Studios. In the video, I’ve given each place about a minute to talk about themselves. Then over at Uncovering Oklahoma, there’s an article that goes into more details about what they offer.

With the proposals that come during Valentine’s Day, I thought a story about event venues would be appropriate. I got to thinking about this idea when I met up with an owner of an upcoming event venue space who reached out to me about a possible story. They, unfortunately, weren’t in the video because, at the time, they were doing some remodeling.

I’m curious to see how well this video does because it is a departure from my usual videos.

If you know someone who is getting married or hosting an event, be sure to share this video with them. Thanks to my Patrons on Patreon for their support.
