Colorado Springs Utilities

How do you squeeze 100 years of keeping a city running into one campaign? You start shooting almost everything.

For “A Century of Service,” Hall Pass Productions went all over Colorado Springs — from homes and local businesses to reservoirs, wastewater labs and high-voltage crews — capturing everything from hallway dancing and baby baths to elephants, cyclists and a panda-shaped poodle.

It was a lot of locations, a lot of real people and a lot of moving parts, all built into one cinematic thank-you to the city. One hundred years, dozens of locations, and not a commemorative plaque in sight.
