This post has one purpose.
I’d like to give a well deserved hat tip to my good friend, Eric Leslie, and his extremely talented collaborators at Palestra Creative for their amazing work on producing the Six Degrees of Dublin video documentary series. I’m a huge fan of what they are doing for two reasons:
- These guys are working to point the spotlight on Central Ohio by using the social web.
- Both Palestra and Eric’s company OnScene Media & Marketing are 2 more examples of Columbus-based start-ups, absolutely worth your attention.
- It’s just damn good film work. Hands-down artistry.
I’m going to shut up now and let you watch for yourself. Here’s the trailer for some background…

So what do you think?
Nate, thanks for the props…this has been a fast moving project, with lots of twists and turns. We’re looking forward to plowing up some more dirt and spreading the seeds of creation.

I was at the Six Degrees premiere on Friday night, and it was great stuff. Better than expected – truly deserving of more attention!

Wow. Color me extremely impressed. A very compelling story and an excellent vehicle for Dublin. If I were a realtor, I’d snap these up to show my prospects. What great PR for Dublin.
