Project Overview
Name: Downtown Houston Tourism
Houston, known for its vast landscape and vibrant neighborhoods, offers visitors a unique blend of modern urban life and rich history. Downtown Houston, the heart of the city, is home to many iconic landmarks, including the Theater District, Minute Maid Park, and the historic La Carafe bar, housed in the city's oldest building, dating back to 1847. As tourism in Houston continues to evolve, there's a recognition that promoting the city’s diverse and exciting districts—such as Midtown, EaDo, The Galleria, and The Museum District—plays a key role in selling Houston as a top destination. Downtown, however, remains a central hub, rich with attractions that draw both locals and tourists alike.
The Houston Tourism Board approached us to produce a video that captures the essence of Downtown Houston, showcasing its vibrant arts scene, sporting venues, and unique historical charm. This video aims to inspire both residents and visitors to explore the hidden gems and well-known landmarks that make Downtown a must-visit destination.

- Historic La Carafe: The oldest bar in Houston, La Carafe is nestled in a building from 1847, offering a unique slice of Houston’s history. The video provides an intimate look at this landmark, blending the city’s rich past with its contemporary charm.
