Holiday Train Show With David Hartman

2007 · 28 min · Documentary

From Thanksgiving through January each year, visitors of all ages, by the thousands, stream into the Haupt Conservatory from wintry cold New York to a miniature make-believe New York City, a wintry wonderland warmed by sparkling holiday music, all beautiful and fun. The video takes us to rural Kentucky to join Paul Busse and his talented team of artists as they collect their plants, roots and berries, then design and construct the new additions to the show, guiding us through the creative process. Video of New York City's "real" buildings mirror the make-believe as we rejoin Paul and the team reinstalling the fairyland city to celebrate the new holiday season.
