The problem

HealthRIGHT 360 is a vital Los Angeles nonprofit, and Prototypes is one of its sub-agencies. Organizations like this carry heavy missions on small budgets, and they rarely have the time or money to tell their story on film. A video that explains the work and the people behind it can help with donors, partners and the people who need the services.

What I did

  • Direction. I planned the film end to end: the story, the interview questions, the shots and the order they would appear.
  • The interview. I conducted the interview on camera and shaped the story around what the person said.
  • Production and edit. I produced the shoot and guided the edit into a one-minute film that the nonprofit can use anywhere it tells its story.
  • Why I did it. It is a lot of work, and I wanted to give something back to a local organization doing vital work in the community where I live and work.

"...a great communicator, a creative problem solver and a strong project manager."

Easter egg

Congratulations. You found it.

Most people read the case studies. You went straight for the footer logo, which tells me you notice details. That is a good habit in a marketer, and a good sign for us working together.

The secret: this whole site was built with AI, directed by me, and it costs $0 to host. My old site's hosting cost $350+ for three years, almost $120 a year, plus about $20 a year for the domain. I still pay for the domain. The hosting is free.
