The Legacy of a Pirate
In 2018, the Port City Films team set sail (that’s right, we’re doing this) on a journey to bring a fresh, cinematic vision to the football entrance videos that play before the East Carolina University football team takes the field. The PCF team conceived and produced a new entrance video five years in a row to go along with a reimagined No Quarter video that plays in the stadium. Go Pirates!
