CINCINNATI (August 29, 2019)—Black Tent, LLC, an award-winning commercial video production company based in Cincinnati, Ohio, is launching a new original mini docuseries titled “Hustle & Heart” this Labor Day weekend to celebrate working-class heroes.

Hustle & Heart is an original mini docu-series, available on YouTube, that explores the cornerstones of success—hard work and creativity. In each new episode, the series will go in the trenches with exceptional men and women who work hard and dream big. The series is launching with two pilot episodes featuring Greater Cincinnati area residents.

It’s no secret that working-class people are underrepresented in the media today. That’s why Black Tent has launched the new series and why the company is inviting people to nominate local, Cincinnati area, working-class heroes to be recognized in future episodes.

“As a commercial production company and the Official Film Crew of Doers, Dreamers, and Go-Getters™, we are continuously exposed to hard working people who are building successful businesses and doing amazing work in our community and around the world. The Hustle & Heart series is a new project that we have commissioned to highlight these people and to help share their wisdom with others,” said Steve Kirschner, Executive Producer and Creative Director at Black Tent. “Our society has given too much attention to people who have achieved recognition and celebrity not through talent or hard work, but for simply being rich and famous. This series is not only an attempt to change that, but it’s also a great way to inspire others who are working towards their goals.”

This is your chance to honor colleagues, acquaintances, friends, and family members in our region who you think should be celebrated and featured in an upcoming episode of Hustle & Heart at https://www.blacktentproductions.com/hustleandheart/. You can nominate anyone you think is deserving, and Black Tent will then contact all shortlisted nominees to gain their consent to progress their nomination and discuss the filming of their story.
