NuggetLove
The charitable giving arm of CBT Nuggets is called "NuggetLove". I had the distinct honor of working with 2 of the NuggetLove charities in Africa, to help film marketing messages for their organizations. Below are the 2 videos produced. I traveled to each location and served as the cinematographer for both videos. The footage I shot was then turned over to outside organizations to do the editing.
Drop in the Bucket: Uganda
Drop in the Bucket is a poverty elimination charity in Uganda. They focus on drilling wells in impoverished communities, so that women and children do not have to spend all day, every day obtaining water. Instead of telling the traditional "clean water is important" story, we focused instead on the impact the wells have made on communities after they are installed. Instead of spending all day getting water, women can now be business owners, helping to support families and communities.
Nashulai Conservancy: Kenya
Out-of-country investors are quickly buying up all the land surrounding the famous Maasai Mara game reserve in southern Kenya, to build luxury resorts. But a group of Maasai communities have formed a conservancy to protect their land and their traditional way of life. This video is not our final product, but a tease of footage I shot inside the conservancy. The final video is in the last stages of editing. I put this together to be used for some fundraising efforts until the project is complete, but it gives you a taste of what the organization and people are like.
