-- Weaver Films provided professional videography for FUSION360°, an intimate culinary experience held August 28, 2025, at Rusty Tractor Vineyards. The event featured international fusion cuisine, expert wine pairings, and country-specific design elements, all supporting Arkansas Foodbank in recognition of Hunger Action Month.
Founder Brian Weaver documented the multi-sensory evening through cinematic videography that captured the complexity of the five-course journey through Italian, Lebanese, Indian, Turkish, and French fusion cuisine by Vibrant Occasions Catering, paired with coordinated visual projections, floral designs, and atmospheric lighting.
The videography challenge required capturing multiple simultaneous elements: Chef Serge Krikorian's international fusion dishes, wine presentations by François Guilloux of VINO Distribution, floral design transitions by Althea Wiles of Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio, and coordinated country-specific projections, music, and lighting changes throughout the evening.
"FUSION360° was a unique videography opportunity because every element told part of the story," said Brian Weaver, founder of Weaver Films. "We were capturing an immersive cultural experience where food, wine, design, and atmosphere worked together to transport guests through five countries. The challenge was showing how all these layers created something greater than the sum of their parts."
The videography produced content optimized for various platforms, including full-length YouTube documentation, vertical format content for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. This multi-format approach ensures maximum visibility and ongoing content utility for all event participants.
FUSION360° brought together 15 Arkansas media professionals and tastemakers for an evening that demonstrated how sophisticated events can incorporate meaningful philanthropy. The event collected non-perishable food donations for Arkansas Foodbank, addressing the reality that Arkansas ranks first nationally for food insecurity.
The videography integrated with coordinated event elements including photography by Lori Sparkman Photography, content creation by Karen Alejandri, and technical production by Central Arkansas Entertainment. This collaborative approach required timing and positioning that captured the complete experience without interfering with guest enjoyment or other documentation needs.
