Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas needed a piece that would drive recruits for their program. The film we produced used stop motion photography (Beth Perkins) to highlight a day in the life of a “Big” and his “Little.” Ultimately the goal of the film was to lower the mental barriers potential “Bigs” might encounter while considering becoming involved.
This piece demonstrates its really about being present and nothing more. It’s not about being the “perfect mentor”. In this was we show the vulnerability of the “Big” while seeking connection for the “Little”. We cut a thirty second TV spot from this footage that acted as a trailer and asked people to log on to the BBBS site to learn more. They were greeted with this longer form piece when they logged on. Kudos to Action Figure and Stuck On On for joining us on this project.
