DB Productions was recently recognized for the creativity and effectiveness of its films, bringing home four Telly Awards and one W3 Award for work across a variety of categories for several different clients.
The Telly Awards, whose mission is to strengthen the visual arts community by inspiring, promoting, and supporting creativity, recognize exceptional work in film internationally. DB Productions was acknowledged for its film work with Playworks, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to transform recess and the school day with safe and healthy play. The short film depicts the power of play, connecting potential funders with key messaging about the program, including its impact and outcomes.
“Film is a visceral medium: it can emotionally connect the viewer to an authentic story and message,” says Xan Parker, Executive Producer of DB Productions. “Playworks has a unique and significant mission. Film is the ideal way to showcase their story, to show how something as seemingly simple as recess can significantly impact outcomes for our children.”
DB Productions was also recognized for its work with Cenergistic, an energy conservation consulting firm. As part of a larger rebranding, DB Productions produced a five-minute documentary-style corporate film to help bring to life the firm’s unique value proposition and emphasize their depth of expertise and commitment to measurable results.
“Film has been essential in conveying Cenergistic’s new brand to investors, clients, and even employees,” says Dru DeSantis, Creative Director of DB Productions. “Cenergistic is a market leader with a truly unique story to tell. The film does this in a compelling way, showcasing the people and technology that make their offering impossible to replicate while also showing their commitment to measurable results.”
While film can be a powerful tool for storytelling, today’s diverse media environment demands a smart approach. Successful films combine strategy with high production value to support and celebrate a company’s business efforts.
