The Oxbow Hotel - I Came Back Here

NICK MEYER, CO-OWNER OF THE OXBOW HOTEL AND OWNER OF EAU CLAIRE’S ARTS AND CULTURE MAGAZINE ‘VOLUMEONE’, NEEDED A VIDEO DONE FOR THE NEWLY OPENED HOTEL. I WAS BORN AND RAISE IN EAU CLAIRE, I HAD STAYED AT THE OXBOW A FEW TIMES SO I KNEW THE MAGIC OF THE HOTEL AND WHAT IT MEANT TO THE TOWN SURROUNDING IT MORE THAN MOST.
WHEN I STAYED THERE, I LOVED THE POEMS THEY HAD WRITTEN ALL THROUGHOUT THE ROOMS AND HALLWAYS. EACH ONE CAPTURED MY HOME SO WELL. ONE HIT ME HARDER THAN THE OTHERS, AN EXCERPT FROM NICKOLAS BUTLER’S (ANOTHER FELLOW EAU CLAIRE NATIVE) POEM “SHOTGUN LOVE SONGS”, AND WE ENDED UP USING IT FOR THE PIECE.
I FOCUSED ON GIVING THE VIEWER THAT FEELING, THE VIBE, THROUGH SHOWING THIS COUPLE IN LOVE, WITH NO WORRY IN THE WORLD. THE OXBOW HOTEL IS THE PERFECT BACKDROP FOR TAKING IN THE BEAUTY OF LIFE, CULTURE AND NATURE IN NORTHERN WISCONSIN.
