Happy December!

Travel, I’ve had my share, man. 2023 was perhaps our busiest. I’m thinking the post-pandemic reality prompted our non-profit, faith-based, broadcast and corporate clients to make up for lost ground. 22 different clients and more individual videos than I can count.

Here’s a brief rundown.
The Rural Community Assistance Partnership led the way with stories and events in New Mexico, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Ohio New Hampshire, Boston, Mass, and Washington D.C.

Father Bob Miller, my spouse Julie and I did a deep Civil War dive with Faith of the Fathers, a new Documentary with the Kenosha, Wisconsin Civil War Museum that took us back in time to Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.

The Christian Fellowship Community had me back in Rural Texas, Louisville, Kentucky and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Here at home, The Islamic Foundation of Villa Park, Illinois honored me with a commission to tell the story of their 50th anniversary in what has become one of the largest and most influential Muslim American organizations in the United States.

Lombard, Illinois brand new Helen Plum Library opened this year and I was asked to document it all.

The Chicago Bible Society, Pure Processing, The Chicago Rehab Network, Hephzibah Children’s Association, The Law Center for Better Housing, Chicago Theological Seminary, Catholic Theological Union, McCormick Theological Seminary and All Chicago, a new client that seeks to end homelessness, all asked me to tell their stories.

And then it was Lutheran, Lutheran Lutheran! Lutheran Social Services of Illinois kept me really busy with a wide variety of stories and events as they serve Illinois’ most vulnerable populations. Lutheran Services in America asked us to cover a large Gathering at Bethel New Life in Chicago, and last but not least, the Lutheran School of Theology made their big move into new digs and I was there to cover it all.

Thank you to each and every one of my clients. It is an honor and privilege to serve alongside you as you do justice, love mercy and walk humbly.

Here is a new video I produced for Lombard’s Helen Plum Library. The new, planned library location at 411 S. Main Street, Lombard (get it, 411… information… library) will be built on the site of the former Mr. Z’s Grocery story.
The Helen Plum Library worked out an agreement with the Lombard Fire Department and the Village of Lombard, to use the facility as a fire training site, in advance of the building’s demolition later in May.
I’m proud to have this opportunity to serve my local community and help make Lombard and even better place than it already is.

Frank Bachochin from Excel Marketing Services asked me to produce a series of business-to-business marketing videos for Northbrook based Ramcel Engineering. Ramcel Engineering is a leader in custom metal stampings, custom tooling and automated assembly. It was fun to tour the facility and get a close-up look at the face of US manufacturing including some of the latest in robotic and digital print technology.
