We’re at the 48 Hour Film Festival! At LSS, we’re used to quick-turn deadlines —?but 48 hours from start to finish for an original, scripted film was a fun challenge. Members of the LSS team got together over a weekend to create the silly and spooky film “Office Creatures.” We’re so proud of everyone who participated, and our team also had a ton of fun! Here’s a photo from yesterday’s screening of our film at the AFI Silver Theater (along with lots of amazing other films), and a peek behind the scenes of our production. Check out the trailer! https://lnkd.in/en2_Xpqp 48 Hour Film Project #48HourFIlmFestival #48HourFilmProject #48HourFilm?

On this Veterans Day, we're looking back at a video we produced for the National Park Foundation which found us fly fishing with veterans in Shenandoah National Park. The piece focuses on the incredible Project Healing Waters — a nonprofit dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through the soothing experience of fly fishing. It’s one of the many organizations receiving support from NPF’s ParkVentures program to create lifelong relationships with national parks — and in this case, using the benefits of nature and community to help with healing those who serve. Watch this piece for a moment of calm and reflection, and #ThankAVeteran today. Project Healing Waters #Veterans #VeteransDay #HonoringVeterans

We recently went around the LSS office and asked our team members, “What’s your favorite project?” And the answers and perspectives we heard? — from producers to editors to graphic motion designers and sound designers — are a great introduction to LSS and why we love the work we do!

Happy National Drive Electric Week!

This week we wrapped up an energizing few days working behind the scenes at the Clinton Global Initiative 2024 Meeting with the Clinton Foundation, filming and providing content for the onsite experience and for social media channels — which received 3.1 million video views! This was our third year in a row at CGI, and we created 47 unique editorial pieces — including the signature opening and closing videos and a series of vignettes focused on issues spanning humanitarian response, women and girls, food security, the care economy, clean jobs, water access, and youth education. ? This year’s theme was “What’s Working,” and it was truly inspirational to be in the room with all of those who are doing the work, connecting the dots, and scaling for impact. And we even had a surprise visit on stage from President Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden! We were proud to be part of a great CGI team along with MARKHAM and other partners — now that’s a wrap! #LongStoryShort #LSSWrapped #CGI2024 #CGI #ClintonFoundation #ClintonGlobalInitiative #WhatsWorking #ClimateWeekNYC

At LSS, we’re often inside studios and edit rooms crafting stories — but we love it when we have the opportunity to film outdoors and showcase the natural world. And we love even more showcasing stories about making those experiences accessible to everyone. As part of our ongoing partnership with the National Park Foundation, we were asked to craft a film highlighting Latino Outdoors, a Latinx-led organization focused on expanding experiences in nature. By providing a safe, inclusive space to explore, many participants are able to experience our National Parks for the first time.? Through the National Park Foundation’s work, groups like Latino Outdoors are able to inspire a new generation of outdoor leaders, including communities historically excluded from national parks.? We filmed with participants traveling by boat from Boston to explore the Boston Harbor Islands National Park. LSS producer Hannah Sanchez shared the joy of working on this project: “It's nice to see my community being highlighted and lifted up through the work that we do and the work that NPF does.”?

Today is National Women’s Equality Day, and we’d like to share some important work we’ve done with our longtime client, the National Women's Law Center.? We are proud to have collaborated with NWLC on a video series called “Defiant” that shared the stories of six abortion providers across the country — and even prouder that it was a Silver Winner at the 3rd annual The Anthem Awards. LSS Associate Producer Emily Alff shares about the personal importance of working on this project: "I feel a calling to share women's stories — after all, women's stories are everyone's stories. But in this moment when essential care is being denied, we especially need to listen to and support each other, including our health care providers." #WomensEqualityDay #AnthemAwards #NationalWomensLawCenter #LSSMedia
