Cleaveland—New video trailer by Bill Payne and Zack Swanson

All of you have been so helpful in our attempt to make documentaries, I thought I would
share with you our next project, to be completed this summer.

Zack and I appreciate your support.

Thanks!

Bill

It's Cleveland...not Cleaveland.....although namned after Moses Cleaveland. The place called "Cleaveland" eventually became known as "Cleveland". In 1830, when the first newspaper, the "Cleveland Advertiser," was established, the editor discovered that the head-line was too long for the form, and accordingly left out the letter "a" in the first syllable of "Cleaveland," which spelling was at once adopted by the public.

Jim - Thanks for the comment! Actually, the title of the project is, in fact, spelled with an 'a.' Think of it as 'cleave' as in 'split.' It holds meaning on different contextual levels.
