CAPITAL ONE | RESILIENCE REIMAGINED
creative direction & STRATEGY
WINNER OF 3 TELLY AWARDS AND 2 HERMES CREATIVE AWARDS
In 2020, Capital One announced its Impact Initiative Grant, recognizing the extraordinary work of community partners around the country. I worked closely with Capital One to create this documentary film and photo series that showcases partner efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The series brings into focus the extraordinary stories of the individuals who are doing the work at these organizations, every single day. I led the team to work to vet and source subjects, establish storylines and locations, and go on location to film during the early days of the pandemic. Through this incredible partnership, we made a series of 5 documentary films and 5 photo essays in 2020.
