Mendota: Symphony Of A Lake

This visual symphony celebrates Madison, Wisconsin’s beautiful Lake Mendota and the community that brings it to life.

Levon Blackburn is a filmmaker, videographer and video editor from Madison, WI. He has worked with the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Be the Match and Madison College among other local businesses.

His love for city-symphony films has inspired his first short, “Mendota: Symphony of a Lake.” Documenting Madison, Wisconsin’s Lake Mendota through all four seasons was an opportunity to celebrate a place and a community Levon has loved since childhood. Making the film nourished his creative spirit, but also left him eager to create more films about the places and people that make life rich and vibrant.
