About the 'Our Town' Project
Maryland Public Television's "Our Town" is a series of 60-minute programs showcasing Maryland municipalities. The first three installments profiled Chestertown, Hagerstown and Cumberland. The program illustrates what makes the community a special place to live and work through original film footage and commentary from area residents. The program features local landmarks and points of interest, with residents telling what they like about living and working in the community.
Work on the Rockville program will begin in September 2014. The documentary will air on MPT beginning in September 2015. MPT hosts a story conference with community leaders before filming begins. The results of the story conference define the content of the program. MPT provides handheld cameras to residents to gather the footage for the film.
