PROMO VIDEO & SOCIAL MEDIA SHORTS
“WEEMA Means Complete”
WEEMA International is an Ethiopian NGO dedicated to helping people there uplift themselves through education, clean water, health and economic empowerment. I created a promo video that premiered at their fundraising event and is prominently featured on their web site. With that same footage, I also created ten 60-second videos to highlight specific programs to make it easy for them to share their stories on social media. Our crew spent one week in Ethiopia capturing each of the community-based projects and the inspiring stories and people behind them.

PROMO VIDEO
“Curing Blindness”
WEEMA International, along with The Cure Blindness, hired me to create a documentary short to shine a spotlight on the lifechanging work being done by these two organizations. The doc follows an older woman and a young girl who are among 1,054 people cured of blindness caused by cataracts in an amazing feat with five surgeons and grassroots team.
