Everybody's moving to Charlotte, with filmmaker Duvale Murchison
About this episode
This episode features filmmaker Duvale Murchison discussing his documentary series on the influx of new residents to Charlotte.
The Charlotte region adds roughly 150 new residents every day, but beyond the statistic are thousands of individual stories about why people choose to make the region home. In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Ashley Fahey talks with Charlotte filmmaker and videographer Duvale Murchison about his new micro-documentary series, "150+ A Day: Everybody's Moving to Charlotte." Inspired by the region's rapid growth, the project captures candid conversations with transplants from across the country — and around the world — about what brought them here, what surprised them and how Charlotte has changed their lives. Murchison shares how a chance visit to Charlotte in 2014 convinced him to relocate from Michigan, why he believes the city offers a unique blend of opportunity and quality of life, and what he's learned from interviewing dozens of newcomers. From New Yorkers who say Charlotte helped them slow down to international residents discovering the Queen City's culture, the conversations paint a portrait of a region that continues to evolve.
