THE JOURNEY OF A MEAL

CLIENT // Redwood Empire Food Bank

In a powerful collaboration with Redwood Empire Food Bank, we had the honor of bringing their mission to life through a short film for their 2025 Empty Bowls gala. What began as a simple idea to show how a single meal travels from farm to table, evolved into “The Journey of a Meal”, a deeply moving fundraising film that captures the heart of a community united by compassion.

Our team hit the ground running, interviewing local farmers, grocery partners, dedicated volunteers, and the passionate staff behind Redwood Empire Food Bank’s daily operations. We also heard directly from those whose lives are touched by these efforts, real people, real gratitude, real impact. Each voice added a unique thread to the larger story, revealing how much care and collaboration goes into every meal served.

Back in the office during post-production, we wove these voices together with vivid, cinematic broll captured across Sonoma County, from sunlit farms to bustling distribution centers, crafting a narrative that’s as visually stunning as it is emotionally resonant.

The result? A film that didn’t just tell a story, it stirred hearts. It helped Redwood Empire Food Bank raise crucial funds, engage their audience, and shine a spotlight on the hidden heroes of food security.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Definition Films, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their ability to understand our vision and produce a video that perfectly matched what we wanted was nothing short of outstanding. We were creating a video for a fundraising event, aiming to educate while also evoking deep emotional resonance—and they delivered that and more.

Definition Films has an incredible knack for capturing organic, natural moments that feel authentic and impossible to replicate. Their punctuality, creativity, and dedication to getting those perfect shots were remarkable. Even when working with individuals who were uncomfortable being on camera, they managed to create a relaxed and respectful environment that put everyone at ease.

Beyond their technical expertise as videographers, their creativity and vision in post-production truly set them apart. The final product was not just a video—it was a beautifully crafted story that exceeded all expectations. Every shot felt intentional, capturing the essence of our message with precision and heart.

Definition Films is a team of true professionals who are passionate about what they do. If you're looking for a company that can tell your story in the most engaging and impactful way possible, look no further. They are naturals in their craft, and I highly recommend them!
