Although I have a full time job, I occasionally still freelance. CitizensNYC is a newer client I started working with early during the pandemic. CitizensNYC makes direct cash grants for neighborhood-led projects, and neighborhood businesses that improve the quality of life in New York City. The first video I made for them was called “What are you doing to help rebuild our city?” which was in response to the first 8 months of the pandemic.
Over the past 2 years, Citizens has been very gracious in terms of bringing me in for various projects. In addition to the above video, they’ve also brought me in to edit a number of other Zoom oriented videos. Back in November, they hired me to produce a “mini-doc” style video that highlighted their week long initiative called “Day of action 2021” which was covering 2 events over the course of one day up in the Bronx. One event was a food drive and the other was a community garden cleanup. Later in the week, I took event photos of their first in person fundraiser since the pandemic started.
I’m late to posting this project but I really wanted to make sure this project and story were shared.
