😊 Smile! Welcome to Chef Luna
Lunacy around town @ Lunacy.TV
What is Lunacy around town? It’s a video series, developed by Paul Luna, to showcase local businesses, local entrepreneurs, and their craft.
Who’s Lunacy around town for? It’s for local residents as well as tourists to show the pulse of living in your local town. Everybody brings value to the local market — from hairdressers and kitas (daycare), to microbreweries and grocery stores.
Do I have to speak English? Not at all. Speak in your language and the language of your customers. Show your viewers what makes your shop special — we’ll do the rest.
Chef Luna: all over the place!
