The Princeton Chamber of Commerce recently launched a mini-documentary video that focuses on the human face of their community. It was the first of four that were released.
The purpose of these webisodes is to spread the word to people across the country that Princeton is not only the best place in the world to live, raise children and grow old but is also a unique and charming place to visit for a day, weekend or week(s). Princeton is a small town with big dreams and amenities and they want everyone to know it!

The Chamber hired About Face Media, Inc., a marketing company that specializes in the development of video content that utilizes a story-based, documentary film approach. The company employs a team of filmmakers, writers, designers and social media entrepreneurs, the majority of which have directed feature documentaries that have played at film festivals and received critical acclaim. About Face Media filmmakers followed these real people for several hours capturing their routine activities on video, edited their “captures” and produced four, 2 minute long videos. The result is advertising that isn’t at all like advertising, engaging and unobtrusive and 8 minutes of shear warmth and happiness.

The Princeton Chamber of Commerce invite you to view the first of four webisode entitled The Simpler Life - “The Goulet Family Visits Princeton”
