WFU duo produces video for film commission

Clay and Tiffany Hassler, a husband and wife filmmaking team who both work at Wake Forest, have produced a three-minute video for the Piedmont Triad Film Commission that encourages producers, directors, and location scouts to bring their next production to the Piedmont Triad.

To land the $5,000 contract to produce the video, the Hasslers won a contest this past summer in which area filmmakers submitted 30-second shorts. The contest was funded by a grant from DataMax Foundation of Winston-Salem.
