New Story Charity is a non-profit organization that provides homes and 3D printed homes to people living with inadequate shelter. The organization was founded in 2014 and has helped fund community projects in four countries, building over 2,200+ homes, and changing the lives of over 11,000 people. New Story approached us with with an idea and a mere 6 weeks to produce a small narrative piece that explored how a home is where a family’s most formative memories and foundational moments are fostered. We accepted the challenge of bringing this story to life, and the virtual gala at which it screened wound up raising over $800,000 for the organization.

New Story Charity is a non-profit organization that provides homes and 3D printed homes to people living with inadequate shelter. The organization was founded in 2014 and has helped fund community projects in four countries, building over 2,200+ homes, and changing the lives of over 11,000 people. These video were produced as part of a combined initiative to raise money for the construction of new homes in El Espino, San Salvador, where 64 families were forcefully removed from their homes and forced to live on the street. My team and I accompanied several of New Story's team members to San Salvador where we visited the communities, spoke the families, and witness firsthand the horrible fates they had suffered. Between presentations of our videos in both Atlanta and San Francisco, nearly $2 million was raised to support this initiative.
