Meet the OG Finch, @nicogiam ’s adopted stray (get it?).
Fun fact 2: He can sit, stand, and high-five on command. 🐾

“You, everybody that you know, and everybody that they know, has been in contact with somebody that's been trafficked."
January is #humantraffickingawarenessmonth and we are excited to share YOU'VE SEEN US BEFORE. A short documentary that depicts the signs of sex & labor trafficking, told by those who have experienced it.
The project was made with @tatnonprofit and will be used by corporations across North America to train their employees to recognize how human trafficking intersects with us in all areas of life.

In June, ultra-cyclist Michael Phillips competed in @raceacrossamerica to raise awareness for @worthwhilewear and their work with victims of human trafficking.
We partnered with Worthwhile and Prevail Racing to capture Michael’s cross-country trek. We’re excited to share his inspiring journey!

Another project we did last year with @worthwhilewear & @worthwhilethrift !
We wanted to give their new brand video a bit of energy, so we decided to film with a single Steadicam setup rather than a more traditional 2-cam interview setup.
The Steadicam worked well for the classic walk-and-talk shots. It also gave wrap-around movement a nice organic feel compared to a dolly or slider.
With multiple locations and a tight schedule, we were also able to quickly reset shots. We could film a 2-person shot, then zoom in for a single that would feel like a different angle.
Shout out to our DP & Steadicam op @colnwelch for giving the shots that extra life and energy!
Continuing through our fav shots from 2023! 🗓❤️
Last week we shared THE VOICE OF FREEDOM - an animated spoken word we produced in the fall with @worthwhilewear . Check it out if you haven't already!
It was a pleasure working with
@kristina_marlene_ who did a wonderful job both writing and performing her story.
Also a big shout-out to @patrick_m_mason who did the animation, Gareth Smith who did the sound design, and @nicogiam who directed the project!
Thanks to @danjemr for bringing the project together!
🙌
