A lot of people ask us what kind of videos we make, and when I tell them we create a lot of videos for nonprofit organizations, I don’t think they really understand what that means. One of the ways we’ve been able to use our skills as documentary filmmakers is to work with nonprofits and tell their organization’s story through the words of their clients. What this basically means is that we get to meet the people whose lives have been affected by different organizations and hear their success stories. And this truly is the BEST part about our job!

We hear stories of kids who struggled in the foster care system or who were homeless, and now are in college, following their hopes and dreams. We meet women who were in abusive relationships but are now safe and living their lives in confidence and without fear. We even meet neglected animals who were found in horrible conditions but are now healthy and living in loving homes. And all of these success stories are attributed to the phenomenal work that our nonprofits are doing.

It’s definitely rewarding work! We are able to create moving videos that touch the hearts of the viewers and at the same time help nonprofits gain financial support for their organizations so they can continue to help our community. And for us, when we walk away from each interview, we feel honored that these people have opened up and shared their stories with us. It’s awesome.
