Alabama Baptist Children's Home | Open Door

The Alabama Baptist Children’s Home approached us with an interesting question: how can we inspire people to take on the hardest job in the world? When we asked, “What makes it so hard?” The answer we received was about the emotional toll it can take on a family. This piece was born out of a desire to meet that challenge head on and not shy away from the realities of foster care.

Rather than portraying foster parents as superheroes, we set out to show them as ordinary people who choose to do something extraordinary. The result is a deeply personal film that invites viewers to see foster care through a lens of how something so hard might be worth it for everyone involved.

Signarama 40th Anniversary Documentary
To celebrate 40 years of Signarama, we were asked to simply, “tell the story.” The challenge was finding the most meaningful story within an industry where the product itself can often be overlooked, so we leaned into that with a curiosity about how some people could be so passionate about signage.

French Camp Academy
French Camp Academy faces a challenge shared by many long-standing nonprofits: they do so much that it is almost impossible to explain everything they are. A school. A children's home. A town. A church. A community of people committed to helping children discover their future. Our challenge was finding a way to communicate the full spirit of French Camp in a single story.
