Calling all DMV music lovers! On December 11, 2021, the world premiere of "A Year in the Pit: A Journey into Music Photography" will premier at Court Square Theater in Harrisonburg, VA.

This documentary is one-hour long and follows concert photographers commonly found in the pit at music festivals. Shooting "in the pit" requires intense, split-second decisions to capture the ultimate on-stage moment. The symbiotic relationship between image-maker and musician provides the backdrop for a great story. The film explores the artistry and images of some of America's finest music photographers and the most familiar concert photographers in the DMV.

For those music lovers who call the DMV home, you will be intimately familiar with the filming locations because the film was shot at Virginia-based festivals and venues. These include the familiar LOCKN', FloydFest, Rooster Walk, Galax, Hoopla, Bayou Boogaloo, The Festy, The National, and The Hamilton in Washington DC. The documentary also transports us to the French Quarter Fest in New Orleans, The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, and the recently closed Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael, CA.

Please join your fellow music lovers as this documentary provides stunning images and footage of your favorite music festivals and get a glimpse of what it is like to be a concert photographer in the pit.

100% of the proceeds from ticket sales will support Arts Council of the Valley.
