Center of the City

    Bazz McClain and I have just locked our latest doc for the city called "Marking Time: The Center of the City" project. This piece documents the creation and installation of two metal plaques marking the geographic center of Albuquerque in 1912, the year of statehood, and 2012, the centennial. Surprisingly, despite the tremendous growth of the city in that time, the centers are merely 1.5 miles apart today.
     The piece features interviews with local historians Ed Boles and Mo Palmer, who give the history of Albuquerque from just prior to the coming of the railroad in the 1880 to present day. I learned a bunch of stuff I didn't know about our fair city. I'm sure you will too. We also interviewed Yami Duarte, the artists who created the markers, and folks from the city who helped find and place the markers.
    The film is scheduled to premiere at 6 pm, Thursday, Oct. 18 at the Special Collections Library on Central Avenue. I'll post more as we get closer to the premiere.
