Trevor Crowe wants to showcase Prince Edward County. His company Crowe Video Productions is a local, full-time producer of the latest web videos and specializes in capturing local businesses in a creative way. Crowe’s company also provides training and online tutorial videos, live event streaming through social media, multi-cam event recording to Blu-ray, wedding videography and film or VHS transfers to DVD. This extensive list of activities keeps his team busy!
Since setting up shop in Picton in the spring of 2010, business has quadrupled. Today’s County retailers, whether they are art galleries or cheese factories, “rely on traffic from websites and social media sites for their business,” Crowe shares. Crowe Video Productions’ work entices web viewers to stop and look at dazzling videos posted on his clients’ websites. In one project, County Showcase, he collaborates with the local Prince Edward County associations to produce short business web videos that will be prominently featured on tourism and visitor homepages. He sites that statistically, 90% of tourists go online to plan their trips. Crowe feels that his compelling videos increase the chances of a tourist choosing his clients’ businesses.
Crowe and his wife are out house hunting to move their family back to Prince Edward County. Crowe Video Productions’ is committed to becoming a fixture in a growing community. Supporting an event like TASTE! a celebration of regional cuisine came from a desire to be a part of this region’s growth. Crowe Video Productions will be on location shooting a promotional piece for the event and rubbing shoulders with clients who know the success of his work. Then he’ll get back to house shopping.

This week Grace and I dropped off 2,500 Prince Edward County Visitors Guides and rack cards for TASTE! a celebration of regional cuisine and Countylicious at Moontide Studio Gallery where Tara Wilkinson was collecting the promotional materials of seven local businesses in order to pass them on to CTM Media Group for distribution. (Many thanks to Tara.)
While we were there, Tara’s husband artist Andrew Csafordi gave us a tour around their lovely lilac-ringed property, which comprises several out buildings that house various workspaces including Tara’s studio/gallery, Love Nest Studios, and a large barn where Andrew’s encaustic artworks that incorporate materials such as beeswax and twigs are on display. Visit them the next time you’re travelling the Arts Trail.

Prince Edward County’s reputation as a compelling tourism destination received a major boon last week as two of the region’s premier events earned the title of Top 100 Ontario Festival. TASTE! a celebration of regional cuisine (www.tastecelebration.ca) won the designation for the first time, while Maple in the County (www.mapleinthecounty.ca) won the prestigious designation for the second year in a row. Sweet!
