For more than ten years, I have partnered with nonprofit organizations in communities across the country to tell their stories—stories of love, happiness and a better way of life. Every nonprofit has a story worth telling. My job is to bring that story to life and create an emotional connection with potential donors, volunteers, supporters and, just as importantly, the people who may need your services. Through the years, I have discovered one common thread among the organizations I work with: a commitment to making their communities better places to live. That same commitment is at the heart of every project I produce. My clients have included Goodwill Industries, United Way, Charleston Food Bank, ALS Foundation, Specialized Alternatives for Family and Youth (SAFY), St. Thomas University, KKBE Synagogue, Canadian Consul, Operation Home, Second Harvest and many others. A powerful video doesn’t necessarily require a large budget. A story can be told with something as simple as a collection of meaningful photographs or through a fully produced video presentation. What matters most is the story— and how we tell it. Working together through thoughtful planning, creativity and insight, we create powerful video messages designed to build awareness and inspire people to become involved. Videos can be created for websites, social media, fundraising campaigns, special events, educational programs, internal communications and more. I bring a “can-do” spirit to every project and believe the best nonprofit stories should leave Arnie Blum continued on page 47
