We recently had the opportunity to collaborate with the Metropolitan State University of Denver on a film launching their Roadrunners Rise fundraising campaign. The film honors the enduring spirit of the ‘roadrunner’ over six decades and looks ahead to MSU Denver’s bright future. Featuring students, faculty, and alumni across campus, at home, and in the community, each frame thoughtfully captures the roadrunner’s enduring spirit, set to the spoken word performance of Colorado’s 9th Poet Laureate and MSU Denver alumnus, Bobby LeFrebre. We’re so grateful to have contributed to this meaningful project that celebrates the MSU Denver community!

Very cool to see our work featured in this Bloomberg’s piece on North American construction megaprojects!
