Sound familiar?
Transition programs, family support and Gold Star services run all year. But the people with the strongest stories are private by training, your team is small, and gala footage sits on a drive until next Veterans Day.
Veterans and families protect their stories. They open up to people who earn their trust.
Memorial Day and Veterans Day bring attention. The work runs all twelve months.
Your staff are running programs and events. Video waits.
“Happy Productions is in the top 10%, like hands down.”
Brit Heiring, Communications, Kiva“Everyone loves the videos.”
Jacqui MacKenzie, Social media, Lions Clubs InternationalIn their words
We built the Navy SEAL Foundation's "I Am That Warrior" campaign to the standards of a community that includes Gold Star families, with a brand review on every cut. One video became the most-viewed in the Foundation's history. The voices here are other nonprofit clients who trust us with their stories.
One person, one Zoom call, three finished videos.

Public proof
The Navy SEAL Foundation wanted a TikTok following and wide adoption of its "I Am That Warrior" campaign. We widened the definition of warrior to include families, enablers, supporters and donors, cut every piece social-first and anchored short-form capture to their galas and athletic events. One video passed 1.4 million views on Instagram in the first 30 days.

Book my free session →You pick one person close to your work, and our producer interviews them live over Zoom for forty-five minutes while we record. Our editors then turn that conversation into three finished, captioned videos for your website, your social channels and your next appeal. All you have to do is show up, so book your free session.
Book my free session →Anyone whose story moves people: your director, a program lead, a volunteer, someone your program served, or a grantee overseas joining from a phone. Our producer guides every answer, so nobody needs camera experience or a script. Bring your people to a free session and we'll handle the rest.
Book my free session →Every shoot is planned around consent and dignity. People sign releases in their own language, we never show minors' names or identifying details, and anyone sharing something sensitive reviews it before it goes live. Your safeguarding policy always overrides ours, starting with your free session.
Book my free session →We tell stories of strength, not pity. The people on camera speak in their own words about change, progress and what they want the world to know, because donors give more when they see dignity and agency. See how we'd frame your story on a free session.
