?? BREAKING NEWS from Paradeigm? Films! ??????? "As the first day of spring and storm chasing season arrives, Casey's, the third largest convenience retailer and fifth largest pizza chain in the United States, is partnering with "Weather Women: Into the Bear’s Cage," a cinematic storm chasing documentary by Paradeigm? Films. Since moving Paradeigm? Films HQ to Kansas City, we've been patiently working on a way to make a big impact here in the Midwest. Our mission has always been to uncover and craft authentic narratives that leave a lasting impact on the communities we live in.

We’re here to fuel the adventure of storm chasing season across Casey’s Country," said Katie Petru, Director, PR and Communications, Casey’s. "Storm chasers are often misunderstood—seen as thrill-seeking renegades when, in reality, they are experts in weather, often highly trained meteorologists, PhDs, and researchers doing critical, life-saving work," said Stephen Brucher, Owner of Paradeigm? Films and Director, Weather Women. "They are the eyes on the ground, relaying vital information on severe storms and tornadoes that radar alone can't capture. Their efforts may go unnoticed, but they are the unsung heroes standing between chaos and safety."

?? Cinematic Storytelling for a Good Cause – Part 2 ???? Ten years ago, while working as an Art Director at the University of San Diego, I told Coreen Petti, "I think I'm ready to start a business." Her response was pure encouragement: "I knew it was only a matter of time." I jokingly reassured her, "Don't worry, one day Paradeigm? Films will be the presenting sponsor of the University Founders Gala." A decade later, it was an absolute honor to tell the stories of three student scholars whose lives were changed by Founders Gala scholarships—a testament to the lasting impact of this event. The 75th Anniversary Founders Gala at San Diego Padres Petco Park was a historic night for all involved:? Derek Legg Devyn Bryant Bianca Gargicevich Almeida Briana Burton Lauren Garces Russell Yost, APR This milestone event was made even more historic by Darlene Shiley’s extraordinary $75 million pledge to the University of San Diego for STEM—USD’s largest-ever single donation. Her generosity will shape generations of students to come. ??Paradeigm? Films Thomas Love Isaiah Lundell Matthew Rogers Bryan Wibberley #cinematicstorytelling #films #nonprofit #usd #sandiego

Stephen and the entire team at Paradeigm? Films were so fantastic to work with on this video shoot! All of us involved with Cristo Rey Kansas City's Dancing with the Stars event are already doing something completely out of our comfort zones — and then add to that being interviewed on camera —that it could cause a high anxiety situation. But this team of professionals made it so easy, welcoming, and comfortable. The end result is beautiful! Such an awesome team.

"It all came from darkness into light. One door closes, sometimes another door opens. You just have to fight to get there." — Brian Raffel As a Vistage Member, business owner, and long-time gamer, getting the opportunity to help share Brian's story has been an honor. His story has inspired me to be a better leader, to be fearless in making tough decisions, and to keep fighting until another door opens.

There is just nothing like gathering in a room with some of the most relentless and fearless business leaders, sharing your most vulnerable challenges—so that you leave that day more inspired, more fearless to tackle the next challenge ahead, and with the unwavering support of those around you.

But does Storytelling work for science? This weekend, I spoke at the National Storm Chaser Summit alongside Jennifer Ast, Jessica Moore & Tori Ostberg showcasing the trailer for Weather Women. It’s a film about extreme weather, yes—but more importantly, it’s about the people who dedicate their lives to understanding and chasing it. Science and STEM fields are often data-driven, factual, and complex—but does that mean storytelling doesn’t work? Quite the opposite. ? Real, unscripted stories make science relatable and human. ? They don’t just educate—they inspire. ? And when done right, they drive massive engagement and create real impact—both for the people in them and the changes they help make. What industries could benefit from storytelling—but aren’t using it to its full potential? ??Paradeigm? Films #BrandedEntertainment #StorytellingForScience #WeatherWomen #StorytellingForBusiness
