St. Paul's Academy

St. Paul’s Academy is a growing Episcopal school in Bellingham that has grown from a pre-school to a K-10 school since its inception in 1995. To boost support for a new Upper School facility during their annual fundraising auction, they wanted a video that would convey the spirit of the school. Through testimonials of students, teachers and parents we told the school’s story. The video was shown on Blu-ray at the auction and immediately helped raised over $300k towards the school in one evening. It was so well received that the school is having HCF recut the footage into :30 spots to promote enrollment.
