EVERY BUSINESS HAS A STORY
LET US TELL YOURS
Using narrative driven storytelling and effectively combining visuals and sound, we meticulously craft visually rich, engaging brand films for individuals, businesses and non-profits.
GIFT OF LIFE INTERNATIONAL
Doctors from across the globe donate their time to teach the specialized skills involved in pediatric cardiac surgery to doctors in emerging countries.
We had the privilege of documenting several missions in Uganda, Romania, El Salvador and Haiti, charged with digging deep and telling the personal stories of doctors as well as parents standing by with hope for the health of their children. This film has been used to raise awareness for the international non-profit, Gift Of Life, International as well as create a financial support base.
MUSEUM OF THE ROCKIES, AIRPORT INSTALLATION
The Museum of the Rockies chose to reach regional travelers by running this short promotional piece, in association with PBS, and screening it throughout the Yellowstone International Airport. Our goal in creating this content was to showcase the museum’s well renowned attractions and exhibits while engaging viewers and staying within a :30 timeframe.
CLOSE XJACKSON HOLE THERAPEUTIC RIDING
Healing with horses in Jackson Hole. What an inspirational, humbling experience watching these tireless, talented instructors, volunteers and horses work to heal so many bodies and souls. And what an honor to have been able to document their process in this little film.
CLOSE XGIFT OF LIFE EL SALVADOR
El Salvador was our backdrop in creating this non-profit fundraising film for Gift of Life, International, an organization dedicated to saving the lives of children worldwide. Through their tireless efforts, those involved with the Gift of Life, have made it their mission to develop sustainable pediatric cardiac units in several developing countries. This film has been presented to thousands, raising much of the group’s needed operational funds.
CLOSE XMUSEUM OF THE ROCKIES, OPENING DOORS
Through the Changing Exhibits Fund, The Museum of the Rockies is able to acquire world-class exhibitions each year. In creating this non-profit fundraising film, we chose to focus on museum members who have been touched by the diversity of exhibits. In addition, we also wanted to convey the hard work behind-the-scenes as one exhibit miraculously disappears into the next.
CLOSE XUNIVERSITY OF GREAT FALLS
The University of Great Falls’ signature freshman program Corps of Discovery unites incoming students through outside-the-classroom teamwork and emotionally bonding activities. We spent several days with students and campus leaders to document and create a story around this unique program with the goal of attracting prospective students.
CLOSE XJOE WAYNE, PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST
When viewing the work of an artist, so little is known about the thought behind the work. We spent several days with artist Joe Wayne to capture his inspirations, process and how he connects his surroundings with the canvas.
CLOSE XGUATAMALA TOURISM
CLOSE XKAREN VOIGHT INTRO
American fitness expert and L.A. Times health columnist Karen Voight, traveled to Montana to create her most recent fitness video “Stretch and Core Conditioning.” We produced, filmed and edited her 45 minute workout, focusing on gentle yet effective and extremely well designed stretch and yoga-style routines. The final DVD includes the above introduction which introduces viewers to the workout as well as the fabulous Montana backdrop.
CLOSE XASPIRATION SUMMIT AT CAMP LIFT
Solera Holdings, along with the Aspire Program, a therapeutically-based program that serves high functioning individuals on the autism spectrum, partnered with the Jackson Hole Therapeutic Riding Association to host the 2015 Camp Lift. Nine young adults were treated to several days in Jackson Hole, immersed in a variety of challenging activities, as well as an equine assisted therapeutic program…building skill sets and achieving personal goals.
We closely followed the group, documenting their process and chronicling their personal breakthroughs. We were able to turn the film around after five days and present it to the group at their very emotional closing celebration prior to their departure.
