Inspired by Don Linton, the FILM Documentary “Boomtown” artfully brings to life the period between 1940 and current day—weaving together archival footage and photography with original recreations and reenactments using professional actors and models. 

“Boomtown” is a hip and historically accurate 2-part Feature Film. Part one is set predominantly in the 1970’s during the boom times in the newspaper industry—using some flashbacks and flash forwards—A young newspaper photographer who was recently hired by the local paper is assigned to cover the actions of a certain group of rebels that are stirring things up in Downtown Frederick. Part two is set mostly in current day and is centered around the transformative nature of art and creativity and the roll those forces have had on changing the community.
