One Day in Houston (2007)
Houston ain't whatcha think!
When I hear the name of the city, old pictures play in my head. Traffic, humidity, oily ship channels, and astronauts. I'm not alone in that. I've had people turn up their noses when I say I'm headed for Houston on business. I guess that's why this little film was made. Houston's image has been on the shady side of the street for a long time. This short film, "One Day in Houston", kicks it all loose. Houston is transformed and you can believe your eyes. It's all real. The images in this piece are fabulous. The scope of Houston's modern architecture is breathtaking. Some shots look like they're from some future city. The arts, the entertainment, the commerce, the food, the diversity of taste, the diversity of style, it's all here. "One Day in Houston" is telling you that Houston is not what you think. It paints a picture of a sophisticated city that is down home. A comfortable, but exciting place where you can have a little New York if you're in the mood. This film sells the experience. I realize more than ever that Houston needs a major image overhaul. "One Day in Houston" is a good start. Eventually the world will know what it's missing. Watch it.
