ArchCity Defenders

Jun 2026

ArchCity Defenders’ documentary project, Hell on Hall Street, provides an investigation into the living conditions at the Medium Security Institution in St. Louis. The film employs a documentary approach to examine institutional environments, balancing observational footage of prison corridors with interviews from community organizers like Jocelyn Garner. The piece utilizes drone footage to establish the facility's scale and setting, anchored by a desaturated visual palette. Produced and directed by Visie Admin with creative direction from Callie MacDonald, the project uses a live-action technique to document the site's interior and exterior architecture.
