A project ordered up by Holly Clapham-Rosenow and the Greater Houston Convention and Visitor’s Bureau has resulted in a grab-you-by-the-throat, beautiful and original short film by Zenfilm.

Set to a score by Jeff Walton, performed by Houston Symphony and conducted by Brett Mitchell, the film starts with some of our famous people and branches out to show us moving about the Bayou City.
