They have expanded into Santa Rosa County, giving them a new name, United Way of West Florida!
United Way of West Florida is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that Unites agencies, businesses, organizations, faith-based groups, government, and individuals to fight for the health, education, and financial stability for everyone in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
A core of Vivid Bridge is enrichment and includes providing value to area businesses and community non-profits. We are proud to support United Way’s mission and the countless people and homes they support every single day.
United Way reached out to us for an opportunity to produce their anniversary video. A video that shares their “why” and what they do to help the community.
In Jon’s words, “This is absolutely beautiful and amazing! Kelly and I were nearly speechless after just watching this together.”
The local film/video community is a tight-knit one and several of our industry peers were happy to help!
Below is a list of local businesses and contractors who donated to this project:
The Vivid Bridge internal team:
Benjamin Murphy – Director
Doug Stanford – Director of Photography
Jon Deckert – Key Grip/Gaffer
