Emmaus Branded Film
Emmaus is a nationwide charity providing a home, a supportive community, and meaningful work for people working their way out of homelessness
The Brief
Emmaus approached us to create a powerful branded film that captures the true weight of their brand. They needed a narrative that resonated on both a personal and national scale, showing exactly who they are and what they do.
Taking the reins from concept to final cut, we developed a moving, nationwide project that follows the lives of individual companions. By highlighting their personal challenges and triumphs, the film shines a light on the broader, life-changing impact of the Emmaus community.
What We Did
To deliver on the brief, we handled the entire production lifecycle from concept to final delivery. Our focus from day one was authenticity, ensuring the film felt grounded, honest, and deeply connected to the Emmaus community.
Pre-Production & Creative Direction: We collaborated closely with Emmaus to select the right contributors, ensuring their stories were told with care. To anchor the film, we wrote powerful brand lines and developed a script to guide the narrative arc. Every scene was meticulously storyboarded, and every shot was designed before we ever stepped foot on set.
Production & Scale: We managed a complex nationwide shoot across three locations, dedicating three shoot days to capturing the stories of two contributors at each site. We brought in a trusted, expert crew to handle the filming and direction, ensuring high production value while maintaining a comfortable, sensitive environment for the companions.
Community Integration: To keep the film genuinely authentic, we woven real, community-sourced footage alongside our cinematic shots, bridging the gap between high-end filmmaking and raw, honest storytelling.
