Background
Emblematic of our creative process, “Vet-to-Vet” is a story-narrative that incorporates the inside world of the veterans, the outside world that they live in, and the lessons of the plan they follow in their vet-to-vet teaching course materials. This film illustrates what was a culmination of several years of research on the belief that veterans connecting with other veterans is both beneficial and therapeutic. “Vet-to-Vet” highlights the linear structure of the Vet-to-Vet manual and weaves in an emotional narrative thread. This educational documentary is intended to be shared with a broader community audience in order to educate and reintegrate veterans into the community

Background
50 years compressed into a 15-minute film, this film was designed for the 50th wedding anniversary of Frank and Jean. Perhaps the most indicative of our process, a story-narrative that blends two worlds; in this case, that of fantasy and reality or perhaps closer to the truth, the worlds of real life and true love.
Produced for a husband and wife from “The Greatest Generation”, Frank and Jean lived a life in love, kindness, and in a time of heartfelt American patriotism and arguably, the greatest music a generation has produced to date. Their favorite music and musicians – Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and an actual recording from 1938, a song featuring Jean, who recorded herself singing in 1938 – all woven into the story of this family for them to preserve, share and enjoy for generations to come.
Both born in the era of great film and movie stars and music featured in their film from The Great American Songbook featuring such stars as Irving Berlin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and other greats of another era.
Jean and Frank married, traveled, experienced life together and were blessed to have children and grandchildren. All along the way, they sang, danced and loved each other deeply and lived inside and outside their world of movies and extraordinary music, and coped with the trials and tribulations of life as they journeyed on their path together.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Some kids never grow up.
Sometimes it seems some things never really change.
Here, short clips of some of our early work. Way back when, our clients were looking for 30-min videos, then 20-minute, then 2-minute. We’re getting ready for the request for a 1-second videoclip. Looking back at it, it’s easy to see how the technology evolved (drones, yea!) and 4K is better, I suppose. It’s crisp. It’s clear. But it’s just as easy to see how it was a good story originally, and it’s still a good story today. Despite the grainy footage and limited technology. Have fun looking back, going forward, looking back, going forward, like a rolling stone.
(If you’d like to see the work in full, our clients would be more than happy to share their impressive work with you, too. Many today are looking for a 60-minute film. Funny, right? A link to their website is included.
