Plant City Main Street welcomed the community to Plant City Premiere Lux Cine 8 & Pizza Pub for the premiere of three videos to highlight downtown.
It was a concept Dawn Hyatt, Plant City Main Street Executive Director, brought to fruition. “It was an idea I’ve had and tried to put together for a little over a year,” Hyatt said. “Premiere Lux Cinemas was instrumental in the partnership.”
Just as with a movie premiere, the red carpet led the way into the theater for the showings of the three videos. Premiere Cinemas Director Marcus Beaufils introduced each video with flair and kept those in attendance entertained.
The videos, three in total of differing lengths, spotlight downtown Plant City and its growing list of businesses. “I want the world to see how amazing our downtown community is, and this is one step closer to making that happen,” Hyatt said.
“I’m praying that this spotlights our downtown as a destination to visit and enjoy,” Hyatt said. “I hope this creates a stronger and much-needed piece toward our downtown’s economic vitality by bringing people downtown to dine, shop, and enjoy services.”
Many hands went into the finished product. The video has been in the works for about three months with Kameron and Karson Athey who helped the vision come to fruition.
Hyatt is hopeful that viewing the video will help bring people to town. “When they fall in love with it as I did it might make them want to set roots here in Plant City,” she said.
The three-minute-long video will be live on the Plant City Main Street website at www.plantcitymainstreet.org on Monday, April 15. Shorter versions will play on social media and before movies at Plant City Premiere Lux Cine 8 & Pizza Pub.
