In order to shoot a backyard picnic we set up an actual backyard picnic and shot it. It’s about giving people the flavor of what Zilks hummus is all about — all occasion, tasty grub that you can play with.
Brand Films
Since 2002 we’ve made documentary style content that connects deeply with audiences. Working with real people, shooting on location, and channeling narrative in an honest fashion is what we do. An undeniably authentic product is the result.
St. Stephens School Brand Film
This short film serves as a brand handshake for families that are considering enrolling their children in St. Stephens Episcopal School. As such it is used primarily by the admissions office for recruitment purposes. Additionally the film is designed to connect current faculty, staff, students and alumni to the values and vision of their school. In this way the film also performs as a culture and development piece. Lastly the footage gathered will be used to create shorter strategic pieces for the ongoing tactical communication needs of the school.
For more about how this film was produced and the strategic framework we employed to drive key messages into a documentary style product please contact bridget(at)thebutlerbros(dot)com

TReND Brand Film
TReND is the Tobacco Research Network on Disparities. As the film illuminates tobacco control policy is not a one size fits all proposition. Far too frequently low-SES and minority populations in the United States aren’t being seen, heard or helped in the fight to control tobacco use. There is disproportionate suffering and death as a result.
Last year we produced a short film for the TReND program. We edited down the film into a hard hitting web release short. Thanks to Andrea Perry for letting us use her track Fastbox on this web release. See the full length film after the jump. Read More…
