Friars of the Atonement
The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement is a Catholic religious community. They run many charitable programs helping individuals who are marginalized. They serve men with addiction through St. Christophers Inn, they started the very first HIV/Aids support group, Do Not Fear To Hope and are at the center of interfaith and interreligious dialogue around the globe. We have been honored to have produced many mini-documentaries about their work, every year since 2010, that premiere at their annual galas. The Friars first reached out to us because they had been presenting the same, in house Powerpoint presentation at their annual galas and needed to greatly improve their donor’s experience. They immediately recognized the value of the first film we made for them as it not only lifted their story to the level it deserved but also portrayed how relevant their work is for today’s society. Since that first film in 2010, attendees of the annual galas have loved watching the heartfelt stories behind the work of the Friars, resulting in increased donations year after year.
