Scenes from A Summer in Cleveland
  • Scenes from “A Summer in Cleveland”

“A Summer In Cleveland” was just uploaded by Dave Pelosi, a young local filmmaker, and it’s pretty impressive.

“We are a group of young aspiring filmmakers out of Cleveland, Ohio,” he wrote in the description. “We work on a variety of different things, and like to keep ourselves busy.”

It was uploaded in the “Summer In” short film competition from Neumann Films. The rules: the video must be location based, must use music from neumannfilms.net, shot locations must be plotted on Google Maps, the video must have “Summer in” in the title, and it must be uploaded and submitted by tomorrow, August 28. Here’s Pelosi’s video:
