Changemaker Profiles
University of San Francisco
The University of San Francisco’s faculty, students and alumni are known for making a difference in their communities.
When USF commissioned a series of videos highlighting their Changemakers, we wanted to bring out the best from people who weren’t used to being on camera. We created a production environment that was small and inviting, with a light footprint crew that would ensure each subject felt at ease and a belief that a good interview is a good conversation. The resulting profiles offer an intimate glimpse into each person’s passions, what drives them and what moves them.
