mybswhealth Product videos

We had the privilege of partnering with Baylor Scott & White Health to create a series of social media spots promoting its MyBSWHealth products and services. We collaborated with Wolfman Agency to execute their creative vision and make these four spots possible. Our team oversaw all production and execution, from casting talent, sourcing locations, crew, equipment, and then all post-production work to make all these spots happen.

Ohmbody

We had the opportunity to collaborate with OhmBody, a women’s wellness device to tell their story and create this brand anthem. We captured this over 2 days in Fort Worth with an amazing crew. The goal of the project was to tell the story of empowerment through a simple but poignant story of a woman who is no longer bound by debilitating periods.

OhmBody is a really neat company that is working to serve customers around the world.

We had the opportunity to collaborate with Central National Bank and Baylor Women’s Basketball for local TV spots featuring Baylor Women’s coach, Nicki Collen.

And always take a charge for the team.

“Faked by fraud”

With our partnership with Central National Bank and Baylor Women’s Basketball, we had the opportunity to create a series of fraud PSAs that were designed to inform viewers of common scams to watch out for.

Creekside community village

Mission Waco serves the homeless population in Waco. In the last couple of years, development and growth in Waco have caused short-term stay motels and other living accommodations for low-income individuals to close down. The idea for Creekside Community Village was born to find a solution and provide shelter to individuals looking to escape chronic homelessness. We partnered with Mission Waco to tell the story and cast a vision for all that Creekside will become. Watch this video to learn more and if you were moved and want to give to the project and impact someone’s life looking to get out of homelessness, you can go to Creekside’s website to give, learn more, and get involved.

united way “A good neighbor”

We worked with United Way to develop a good neighbor campaign in 2023. United Way was looking to create a new style of video, creative, captivating, and engaging, and we collaborated with them to develop this film.

magellan “one-in-a-million”
from passion to pro fishing

Cam and Will are friends who have an overpowering passion for fishing. They have competed in circuits around Texas and outside the state. It’s not an easy journey, but going pro in fishing is a one-in-a-million opportunity. It’s expensive, time-consuming, and takes discipline and resilience. In their success, Cam and Will are aiming at pro fishing and have it in their sights. So what is it going to take for them to go pro? That’s what I sought to capture in this mini-doc.

the boy in the fire (short film)

In Ggaba, Uganda, a young boy recalls his memory of a traumatic experience after which he received help from a local medical clinic. Based on a true story.

Africa Renewal Ministries is a non-profit in Ggaba, Uganda that works to plant churches, train leaders, connect children with sponsors, and develop transformational leaders in Uganda and throughout the world. One of the ways they further their vision is through medical care. Wentz Medical Center is a micro-hospital and treats 50-90 patients a day. With the need for healthcare surpassing the facility capacity, it is time for Wentz Medical Center to build a new facility capable of treating the patients needing care.

We partnered with ARM to write, shoot, and edit this short film designed to inspire others to partner with Wentz Medical Center and build their new facility.

uzin utz “what’s in a bag”

Uzin Utz has a legacy of developing flooring compounds and cements for over 100 years that have been used in commercial and residential building projects all around the world.

Find out what it means to rely on a bag of Uzin Utz self-leveling cement.

We partnered with UnboundNow, an anti-trafficking organization, to create an artistic dance piece that demonstrated the struggle that survivors face when they find freedom from their circumstances. UnboundNow is a global organization that not only works to free victims from the evils of trafficking but also works with the survivors on their path toward full healing. This piece was created for a fundraising event but shared with the world.
