As a small business we have to be creative in the way we operate - both in who we employ and in the projects we choose to take. This blog post is a convergence of those two things - we allowed our intern Danny McCarthy to oversee a project for the “Locavore” movement and he writes about his experience below. The final video is at the bottom of this blog post.

Last month I worked on a project for a friend of Big Teeth Productions - a video about the Locavore Movement focusing on a dinner held at the Hopleaf bar and restaurant that was put on by food scientist Jim Javenkoski, Michael Roper (owner of the Hopleaf) and Ben Sheagren (Executive chef of the Hopleaf).

From time to time I’ll use this space to show off some of our work and our clients. We’re proud of all (or most) of the work we do but sometimes you just really connect on a personal level with certain projects, a great plus of self-employment. One such example is Misericordia. Misericordia is a facility in Chicago that houses several hundred mentally and physically disabled people ranging from very high functioning adults who work in the community, to those who need assistence in even the simplest movements.

Rather than go on further about Misericordia, if you’re interested take a look at the video we created with them. It’s a little long for the web, but was really created to be shown at the Chicago Auto Show First Look for Charity. If the video moves you at all, or you’re looking for a great place to volunteer I can’t recommend this place enough. The residents, staff and volunteers all share the same enthusiasm for what Misericordia does – treat each individual with the dignity and respect that they deserve. There’s much more to say, but we hope the video goes a long way at actually showing how it feels to spend time there. We are also working with them to take some of the many many great aspects of the organization and break them down into smaller more web friendly videos… so stay tuned for that.
