Role: Producer, Writer, Director


Backstory: "Winter is Coming", but for Texas Public Schools. Our dramatic "Public Schools Are Under Attack" video won a National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) award for a state-wide education advocacy organization.


Challenges: Trying to represent a the entire state of Texas, and all age groups, is always tough. We were able to find very helpful school admin and got creative with b-roll, filming some of it during summer break.


Successes: We went out on a limb a little with the style of interviews, trying to give the audience an uncomfortable feeling. The client was very happy with the video and it went over well at their event, driving attendees to action.


They have hired us many times again...
