This is my segment from the first episode of Season 02 of Found Causes. We revisited the Genesis Project, who Grapevine had previously done a video for. The Genesis Project provides hope and new beginnings for boys 6-12 who have experienced extreme trauma and abuse.
This is the 30s promo I put together for the first episode of Found Causes Season 02
This is a quick teaser trailer I put together for a promo I'm making for Liberty Minded, a local libertarian think tank in Oklahoma City. I had wanted to do some sort of promo piece for an organization for some time. When I found out the day before that there was a Ron Paul rally on the capital steps and they would all be there, I threw caution to the wind and got them all together to make this video. I'm really a happy with the way i turned out. Especially with all the audio challenges we faced. We spent most of the shoot worried security would come to shut us down, but we were never bothered.
This is a project I edited at Grapevine Media for The Genesis Project, a boys home in Oklahoma City services boys in state custody who have experiences severe trauma and abuse. The purpose of the video was for general information about Genesis and fundraising.

My edited segment from Found Causes Episode 10. Across from the historic Little Flower Church. NSO has been fighting poverty in Oklahoma City since 1920. Just a stones throw from Downtown Oklahoma City, Neighborhood Service Organization provides job training, shelter, medical & dental assistance, and much more.
Two amazing services they offer is low cost shelter to single mothers who are working to get back on their feet. Apartments come fully furnished and when they are ready to move out on their own again, they get to keep the furniture. The other program addresses the needs of young men who age out of foster care when they turn 18. Many have been abandoned or have no family to turn to when they can no longer stay in foster care and many end up on the streets. NSO finds these boys and places them in an apartment complex providing them help with getting into college, finding jobs, and mentoring.

My edit from Found Causes Episode 09. For those fighting to get out of poverty, it's often a struggle to crisscross the city to get the help they need. That's why the people at Homeless Alliance worked to put all those services under one roof. Homeless Alliance has brought together many of the services groups and government agencies in Oklahoma City that the homeless and poor need to break their struggle with poverty or drugs. What might have been an impossible journey to recovery and help can now be done in one day and one location.
