Magic City

Client: Fujifilm

More than four years in the making, Magic City is our love letter to Birmingham, Alabama—a city of remarkable people, unexpected places, and unforgettable flavors, sights, and sounds.

With the support of Fujifilm, Eleven Productions brought that vision to life through a film that moves from local kitchens and music venues to creative spaces and outdoor adventures.

The project was made possible by an exceptional crew and the people and businesses who opened their doors to us. It’s an invitation to experience the Birmingham we know and discover a little of its magic for yourself.
