Restoration Counseling & Community Services

CLICK TO PLAY VIDEO

 

We reported and produced this 10-minute video to tell the story of Restoration Counseling & Community Services, an organization that helps men and women tackle their drug and alcohol issues, as they come out of prison. We helped RCCS paint a relatable, empathetic portrait of a stigmatized population. RCCS showcases the video on the home page of its website, and leaders play it for new and potential clients. We’ve also created many “social media videos” for RCCS–videos in the two-minute range that they utilize in their marketing and messaging efforts on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc., as well as in e-newsletters. You can watch all of them at https://vimeo.com/channels/rccs

The Cardinal uses these videos to help recruit aspiring student journalists.

They’re men of color who’ve battled the challenges of homelessness, unemployment and incarceration. But now, they’re committing themselves to becoming productive community members, employees, and fathers. The Reporters Inc. tells the story of “Great River Landing” in this 12-minute mini-documentary. Great River Landing is a supportive housing development, spearheaded by the Minnesota nonprofits Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative and Better Futures Enterprises. They use this production during informational forums and presentations to share their plans, goals, and vision for Great River Landing.

We worked with a group dedicated to safe global student travel and study abroad, to create a video showcasing their services and accomplishments. We interviewed the founder–a mother who lost her son during an excursion to Japan–as well as legislators, students, and parents. The result is an authentic journalistic production, geared toward creating awareness about ClearCause Foundation.


STUDENTS TODAY,
LEADERS FOREVER

Using a decade of home movies and photos, we wove the deep history and mission of the nonprofit, Students Today, Leaders Forever (STLF), into a compelling narrative. Then we added interviews with past and current participants, to create several emotional and uplifting video stories. STLF now has clear and persuasive messaging to help draw in a new generation of student leaders.
