Carpinteria Filmmaker Turns The Camera on Local Immigration Stories

CARPINTERIA, Calif. (KEYT) - A Carpinteria videographer is turning the lens on his own community following recent ICE activity.

Larry Nimmer is shifting his "Everyone Has a Story" series to focus on immigration experiences in Santa Barbara County.

The project includes more than 25 interviews with residents, workers, and advocates.

He says the goal is to highlight real voices and show the human impact behind enforcement actions.

“It’s about giving people a chance to share their story in their own words and be heard,” Nimmer said.

He hopes the series builds understanding and connection across the community.
