CHOP’S TEEN CLUB

The Project

Since 2022, our team has partnered with Chop’s Teen Club to create annual fundraising films that anchor their most important event of the year. Each film is designed to authentically reflect Chop’s mission: providing teens with a safe, welcoming space where they can belong, grow, and thrive. Working closely with Chop’s leadership, staff, board members, and teen participants, we set out to tell stories that feel honest, human, and deeply rooted in the community they serve.

The Content

Through a mix of heartfelt interviews and observational storytelling, we capture the real voices behind Chop’s impact—staff who show up every day, teens who find confidence and support within the program, and board members who help guide its future. These stories are layered with dynamic b-roll filmed during multiple production days, showcasing daily life at Chop’s and the genuine connections formed there. In post-production, we carefully shape these moments into a cohesive narrative that feels cinematic, emotional, and purpose-driven—built to connect with audiences in the room and beyond.

The Impact

The films have become a cornerstone of Chop’s annual fundraising efforts, helping translate their mission into an emotional experience that resonates with donors and supporters. Most notably, the 2024 Birthday Bash gala film played a key role in helping Chop’s raise $135,000 in a single night. Beyond the numbers, these films continue to strengthen Chop’s storytelling year after year—building awareness, deepening community connection, and helping ensure the organization can continue serving teens across Sonoma County.
