We are excited to announce our partnership with the Media Tech Museum as one of the official local sponsors for the 2026 48 Hour Film Project - Kansas City. After meeting with Jon Trozzolo, and getting to peek around the museum some, we couldn't imagine a cooler spot to kick off the competition on Friday, August 7th!

We'll be sending teams off with some inspiration from 150 years of media history! Plus they've been generous enough to donate several museum passes as raffle prizes to help fuel the future creative projects of a few lucky filmmakers. 🎬✨

Born in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1916, Walter Cronkite grew up to become the broadcast journalist so widely respected that he was once called, quite simply, “the most trusted man in America.”
Cronkite’s family moved away from Missouri when he was young, but his Missouri roots marked the beginning of a career that would eventually place him at the anchor desk of CBS Evening News for nineteen years, reporting on some of the most consequential events of the 20th century. He delivered the news of President Kennedy’s assassination in 1U63 with visible emotion that many Americans still remember, anchored coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing with genuine, unguarded excitement, and later became one of the most influential voices questioning American involvement in the Vietnam War, reporting that reportedly influenced President Lyndon Johnson’s own thinking about the conflict.
Cronkite’s steady, credible presence during an era of tremendous social and political upheaval earned him a level of public trust rarely matched by any journalist before or since, and his familiar sign-off, “and that’s the way it is,” became one of the most recognizable phrases in American broadcast history. Few people today realize that the voice millions trusted through decades of turmoil first opened his eyes in a small Missouri river town.
