Starks Media partnered with the Young Affiliates of the Mint — the young professional arm of Charlotte's prestigious Mint Museum — to produce this compelling short film asking one powerful question: Why does art matter?

Through intimate interviews, vivid visuals, and thoughtful storytelling, this piece captures the voices of creatives, community members, and art advocates who believe in the transformative power of artistic expression. The result is a heartfelt, cinematic exploration of how art shapes identity, builds community, and drives culture forward.

This project reflects Starks Media's commitment to purpose-driven video production — telling stories that don't just look good, but mean something.
