Hearth | Brand Story Video Production

Boston, MA

This project opened our eyes to a world we hadn’t fully considered before stepping into it. Senior homelessness is a quiet crisis, and meeting the residents at Hearth brought it into sharp focus for Sam and me. Senior homelessness is an issue we hadn’t fully understood before this project, and spending time with the residents and staff shifted something for us as a team. Hearing their stories, sitting with them, and seeing the faces behind this mission changed the way we think about the work we do and the work they do every day.

The people we met weren’t just interview subjects. They were open, generous, and deeply genuine, and we formed connections that will stay with us long after this video. This project reminded us why we choose to partner with nonprofits we believe in. It was an honor to help share Hearth’s impact, and the experience left a real mark on us both personally and professionally.

Video Produced for Hearth

Challenge x Hearth:

Hearth serves a population that is largely forgotten: seniors facing homelessness. A problem that often gets swept under the rug, homelessness among the senior population is a rapidly growing problem that desperately needs to be addressed.

Hearth needed a video that could:

  • Tell their story clearly and authentically

  • Highlight the impact of their staff and programs

  • Center the real voices of residents

  • Balance emotion with optimism

  • Fit the tone of their annual fundraising event

The story needed to feel honest, grounded, and hopeful — never performative.

Video Production x Hearth:

To tell Hearth’s story with honesty and depth, we centered the video around interviews with residents and staff. Their experiences shaped the narrative and helped us highlight both the mission — addressing senior homelessness — and the impact Hearth has across Boston.

During pre-production, we worked closely with their team to build a focused Creative Plan that included the shot list, script outline, interview structure, and overall tone. We coordinated logistics, locations, and a pre-shoot sync to ensure a smooth production day.

We filmed over one full shoot day in Boston, capturing interviews and b-roll across Hearth offices, residences, and additional locations. Our Producer/Director and DP worked with a two-camera setup, full lighting, and audio support to create a comfortable, respectful environment for every participant.

In post, we crafted the three-minute brand story using transcript-based editing, cinematic pacing, music, and simple motion graphics. After one revision round, we delivered the final video and all raw footage. The piece debuted at Hearth’s 2025 gala.

Here’s what the client is saying about Bunker Hill Media:

“Bunker Hill Media produced a video for our non profit's annual fundraising gala. We were on a tight schedule and budget, and they worked with us. The level of professionalism in working with Sam and Gaby was incredible. From gathering information to developing the creative to putting the finishing touches on the video the process was seamless for us and thoroughly enjoyable. They nailed it on the first try. The video was a huge success. Sam and Gaby are passionate about their work and it shows. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and end product.”
