The collection of short two-minute videos cover a variety of topical areas including economic development, real estate, recreation & leisure, education, shopping & dining, arts & culture, history & attractions, and senior living, as well as a welcome message from the First Selectman. The videos are intended to acquaint visitors and residents alike with all that Fairfield has to offer.
The Town of Fairfield partnered with CGI Communications, a video production company based in Rochester, New York, to create the community video library. The videos were produced at no cost to the Town, as the total project costs were covered by corporate sponsorships and advertising revenue.
Adding a distinctly local touch, Fairfield resident and Southport business owner Sissy Biggers provided the voiceover narration for the videos, which was recorded at WSHU, located on the campus of Sacred Heart University. WSHU donated the use of their studios for the project.
“We are extremely grateful to Sissy Biggers, WSHU and to all of our business sponsors and community partners, for lending a hand with this project,” remarked Mr. Barnhart. “We really couldn’t have undertaken this without them,” he added.
