As video-makers, we understand the importance of preserving a powerful story. When the U.S. Department of State asked us to celebrate the artisans behind our nation’s prestigious diplomatic reception rooms, we embraced the opportunity.

In an Emmy Award-winning four-part series, we shared the story of these iconic rooms through the voices of unsung heroes: interior designers, gilders, and chandelier-hangers.

Our goal was to raise awareness for these publicly accessible treasures and inspire a new generation of brilliant craftspeople.
