I acted as grip on set and then edited the footage into two short doc style tributes.

In addition to the Spirit of Compassion videos for Swedish Covenant Hospital, I edited a short promotional video for the hospital's planned Women's Health Center. The video included interviews with doctors and patients to help promote funding for the project.
