Watch Videos From Across the USA

For those of you looking to learn about different modern cultures around the USA, you can close your textbooks and start watching videos on the web. A website has recently begun to capture and chronicle unique neighborhoods and destinations from coast to coast in the US. Watching these videos allows you to learn first hand what goes on in some of the most talked about cities and towns in America without ever having to turn a page in a book. TurnHere`s short 2-5 minute films offer an insider`s look, portraying the culture, history, local businesses and political landscapes of unique neighborhoods and places. Each film stars the people who live there.

Each film highlights the rich, ?street-level` culture of each neighborhood, and illustrates the immense diversity of life in different regions across the country, making it the ideal tool for travelers interested in getting the ?inside scoop` on a destination. TurnHere offer free downloads of any film to mobile video devices, such as Apple`s video iPod, enabling travelers to take the movies on the road. Viewers also can share videos with friends by e-mailing the URL to any Web-enabled device.

TurnHere has a network of more than 50 filmmakers nationwide and anticipates adding 20 to 50 additional films to its Web site each week. Some current films include Hell`s Kitchen in New York, Los Feliz in Los Angeles, Miami`s South Beach, Pioneer Square in Seattle, and lesser-known locations like Windsor, Vt., and Ocean City, Calif.
