First National Bank & Trust is pleased to partner with Mountain Media Works for a new commercial production utilizing historic downtown Iron Mountain location photos combined with present day video footage. The newly-formed Mountain Media Works is based in Iron Mountain and was formed by the partnership of filmmakers Seth Anderson and Michael Johns. Both are involved with the locally filmed Northbound web series, with Seth being the co-founder, writer, and director of Northbound’s production company, Lullskull Ltd. This project is also the first television commercial production for Mountain Media Works.
“With Mountain Media Works, Michael and I want to celebrate the area, its history, and the tremendous growth potential we see evident all around us,” said Seth Anderson.
“Working with First National Bank & Trust has offered us the perfect opportunity to highlight the bank’s ongoing contributions to the community, and set up a vision for how it will take part in an exciting new era.”
Mountain Media Works is involved with numerous upcoming area productions, including video production for the Iron Mountain Road & Trail Half Marathon and the Dickinson Area Economic Development Alliance Loyal to Local campaign.
“Our goal was to produce a new commercial with a cinematic feel that spotlights First National Bank’s connection to the community and historic downtown Iron Mountain,” said Mick Gayan, Marketing Director of First National Bank & Trust.
“Being able to work with Seth and Michael from Mountain Media Works has been a delight as they share a great appreciation for our local downtown history and bring their filmmaking experience to create a very cinematic-style production.”
The commercial is slated to begin airing on television in July and will also be able to be viewed on the First National Bank & Trust Facebook page and YouTube channel.
