Creative Feds

Government employees by day. Artists by night and weekend.
A short documentary that explores federal employees who are as far from the stereotypical “faceless bureaucrats” as you can get. Jennifer and Mark aren’t musicians with a day job. Nor are they office workers with a side hustle. They are federal workers and working musicians who bring their creative spirit into their public service, and are equally dedicated to serving their country and their craft.
