FHA Gala Fundraiser 2024
A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to cover Fashion Honors Autism's annual fundraiser Gala again, which was an absolute pleasure. I've gotten to work with them over the last few years and it's always a joy to get to capture this event or workshops they are doing with the kids.
It's been amazing to get to document Martanne Construction's work on Erin's House with Healing House, Inc from start to finish. We're currently putting together a video showing the start to end of the project, but this video is the final update we shot right before the grand opening.
Projects like this, where we get to share companies and individuals doing good in our community, are always near and dear to my heart.
It's incredibly gratifying to see that the Museum at Prairiefire is still using the promotional video we made for them back in 2016 behind their front desk when you walk in all these years later.
Brand promotional videos are an asset that can work for your business year over year - generating awareness, engagement, and new customers.
Here are six great ways to utilize these videos over time for maximum impact of your video investment:
1. Pin them to the top of all your social media profiles.
2. Use them as a banner or at the top of your main website page.
3. Utilize them at Trade shows and similar events
4. Send them out as part of periodic email newsletters
5. Play them at your place of business (as Prairefire does)
6. Use them in paid ads online and even on air.
Seeing businesses benefit from these videos is one of my favorite parts of running Focused Story Films.
Throwback to working with Fashion Honors Autism back in 2022. Filming for non-profits and good causes is one of the most rewarding aspects of this job.
77% of people who have watched a testimonial video about a product or service say that it has motivated them to make a purchase.
They are one of the best investments any business can make in their marketing, not only because of their high conversion rate, but also because they are evergreen content. They can live on your website and social media, and remain relevant for years - all while warming up potential clients to buy your services.
If you're looking to up-level your marketing, testimonial videos are one of the best long term investments you can make.
Blast from the past from 2022 when I was hired to come down to Florida and shoot videos for two different life coaches. Nothing beats waking up early and shooting at sunrise on the beach.

We've had a long relationship with CORE Strong Fitness...in fact, nearly as long as Focused Story Films has been in business. Mark and his team are fantastic, and it was wonderful to get to refresh their video in 2023 and showcase their beautiful downtown space.

Angela Lamb Client Appreciation Party
In September I had the fantastic opportunity to film and put together this video for realtor (and former wedding client of mine) Angela Lamb at her annual client appreciation party at Stone Pillar Vineyard & Winery . I took the opportunity to capture what her clients though about her - as well as her speech to her clients. The words spoken and the visuals both turned out beautiful.
With a background in wedding filmmaking - and commercial video - having the opportunity to create emotionally resonant and meaningful films to help small business owners is one of my favorite types of projects.
We recently had the amazing opportunity to work with Healing Grace Chiropractic to create their branding video for their wonderful new office space in Blue Springs.
Working with Doctor Haleigh Barker was an absolute pleasure.

We are still booking 2023 Projects, as well as first quarter 2024 projects.
Martanne Construction Update Video
Did you guys know - not every video you have us create has to be a massive undertaking? We can also create short, quick update videos on your business and company and projects you're working on. We've been working with Martanne Construction over the past 6 or 8 months to bring periodic updates about an amazing project they're working on in conjunction with Healing House KC. These videos can be shot in a short time and turned around very quickly - and are quite affordable for our clients. And the best part is later we'll be able to re-purpose that content to help them with future marketing materials to get even more bang for their buck.
