🎥🍂 Fall in Central New York looks like THIS.

Here’s a look at our latest project with Fort Rickey Discovery Zoo, capturing everything that makes their Fall Fun Days so good!

Tractor pull rides, pumpkin painting, crafts, s'mores by the fire, the biggest bounce pad/playground I’ve ever seen, and some seriously good animal encounters. Weekends only through Nov. 1, so there's still time to make it out!

Love getting to team up with local spots like this one and help them show off what makes them special. If your business has a story worth telling, let's talk. 🎬

Things get a bit chilly after Sunday Oct. 4th and some of our cold sensitive animals will need to be moved indoors for the winter. Don't miss your chance to see them this weekend!
