Anchorage featured in 'hipster' series

"American Hipster Presents" is an online series that travels to different cities, shooting five episodes in each that profile different trendsetters in each area. The series has posted episodes from San Francisco, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Austin, Texas, and last week the series added five episodes from Anchorage.

The Anchorage episodes focus on urban homesteading and permaculture with the group Red Edge Design, a profile of indie-pop band The Modern Savage (who were still calling themselves The Young Guns when the episode was shot), contemporary Native art with Drew Michael, subsistence living and wild harvesting with the Anchorage Food Mosaic and craft brewing at Midnight Sun Brewery.

Stream a playlist of each Anchorage episode below.
