We’re taking the challenges of COVID-safe video production in stride, and continuing to tell important stories for important organizations!
We’ll begin with several new projects for one of our favorite clients, Brooklyn’s Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School
To start with, we created two new promotional pieces for the school – one aiming to recruit new students by showing how they’ve maintained academic excellence and continued to provide a supportive, nurturing environment despite the pandemic:
