Watercolors BTS
We took advantage of the beautiful fall weather to film several scenes for “Watercolors – A Documentary about SJ Nielsen". We spent some time at Black Beach and Gooseberry Falls.
The short film will follow artist SJ Nielsen as she attempts to land her dream client: secure a partnership with a national park.

Full Circle - Miller-Dwan Foundation
Talk about full circle!
We recently had the privilege of interviewing David Romano for a short film we produced for this year's 25th and final Miller-Dwan Foundation ArtCetera event.
Story North co-founder + creative director Kevin Jacobsen first met and profiled David for a KBJR 6 news story when he was a social worker at Amberwing in 2012.
Since then, David has started his own therapy practice and has spoken all around the country on mental health.
He's now returning to Duluth and taking on a new role with the Miller-Dwan Foundation to help curb the mental health crisis in our region.
Welcome home, David!

SOAR Careers
When SOAR Career Solutions approached Story North about helping tell their story, they didn’t know where to begin. And that was OK… that’s what we’re here for! They were concerned that their organization provides so many different services it would be hard to cram it all into a video. They were right.
Working with the organization, our approach was to focus on the core message and the most compelling stories that highlight the transformative impact SOAR Career Solutions has on individuals' lives. Notice we didn’t suggest interviewing the executive director or team members?
We began by identifying the key themes and success stories that truly exemplify the essence of SOAR Career Solutions. By zeroing in on these powerful narratives, we were able to craft two videos that not only inform but also inspire.
We aimed to create an emotional connection with the audience, making the stories of personal growth and success relatable and memorable. It’s not about the quantity of information but the quality of the story you tell.
"We had a fantastic experience working with Story North. Their team was professional, creative, and truly committed to our mission. The final videos exceeded our expectations, beautifully highlighting our clients' achievements through compelling storytelling. Thank you for your incredible support and dedication!" - Emily Edison, SOAR Career Solutions
We're pleased to share one of four films we recently produced in conjunction with Hailey Sault for The Miller-Dwan Foundation. This is Sylva's story.
