Nick Ozorak’s presentation, “The Art of Railroad Promotional Filmmaking,” a free public Zoom program, is available at the Center’s YouTube page.
As with other forms of railroad advertising media, filmmaking is its own art. Nick Ozorak has been creating videos for nearly 20 years. His projects include creating the relaunch trailer for the East Broad Top Railroad in Pennsylvania, developing a business showcase for the Iowa Interstate Railroad, promoting various track rehabilitation programs, and many other rail industry stories. He has documented parts of railroading that often go overlooked, such as maintenance of way crews and machinery, and obscure short lines in remote locations. Nick will share samples of his work and discuss his approach to visual storytelling as a means of helping railroads establish their narrative and accomplish their goals.
Nick is also the creator and host of The Roundhouse railroad podcast.
This program originally aired live on Tuesday, June 17, at 7:00 P.M. (U.S. Central Time); 8 pm Eastern / 6 pm Mountain / 5 pm Pacific.
