St. Louis life, on film

Metropolis St. Louis films are out.

The _Metrolink_ movie shows a run-away train zipping through
a post-industrial wasteland. No driver, or driver all but cropped out
of the shot. No passengers. Horror movie trailer, or STL promo ?
Money shot of the Arch.

_Soulard_Market_ is colourful.
_Cinema_ should a crowd with beer in a night carnival-like setting.
It's difficult to shoot in such low light, but the film captures
the atmosphere well. And there was beer.

Most other films look like they could have been made anywhere.
It that a subtheme, STL, it's normal, it could be anywhere. ?

_Worlds_ is beautiful.
_Explore_ best captures the notion that there's opportunity
to see and do in STL.

The Saint Louis / mstl.org branding could be bigger
and bolder. I was looking for the mstl.org URL, but
the casual viewer might miss it.

All films available in Quicktime.
