A trip to Omaha turns into something more in this short film that explores the city in Middle America.

Forget the flyover tropes; “It’s Omaha” is a punchy, caffeinated examination of a city that’s secretly running the country while you’re busy looking for a parking spot in LA. Narrated with the kind of “Dad-joke” charisma that would make Dale Carnegie proud, the film follows a lone, coffee-reliant tourist on a quest for the legendary Nebraska cornfield—only to get distracted by a city housing 800,000 people and a skyline built on Berkshire Hathaway billions. It’s an informative deep-dive that proves Omaha is less about “shucking” and more about “hustling,” featuring everything from the world’s best steaks to a 50-acre pumpkin patch that is essentially perfect for people who like orange vegetables. Come for the history, stay for college sports and prime cuts, and please—for the love of Lincoln—don’t tell Chicago they lost the livestock title.
