The Documentary: In an exploration of cultural exchange through art, American documentary filmmakers Jacob David and Joel Washing focus on two distinctly different cities with the same name. Visually rich cinematography of the Toledo, Ohio skyline and the ancient architecture of Toledo, Spain illuminate the physical differences of the cities, while in-depth interviews with artists show the deep similarities between the cultures through the universal need to create. The Background: Two Toledos, the debut film of documentary filmmakers Jacob David and Joel Washing, grew out of a visit to the Iberian Peninsula in 2001, where they studied the Spanish language. David and Washing are co-owners of Above the Shop Studios, in Toledo, Ohio. Website: TwoToledos.com Company: Above the Shop Studios
