Written, produced and directed by Chris Benjamin, "Wayne County:8 minute download" also won a gold award in the very competitive External Communications category. The video shows the best Wayne County has to offer in eight different categories and is written in a rather irreverant style.

The video received a standing ovation when screened at a Wayne County dinner.
