I still see that golden glow of dawn, standing with the Xavante people in a remote village near the center of Brazil as they prepared to receive the New Testament in their own language for the first time. In that moment, I felt the weight of responsibility and excitement that comes with capturing incredible stories. Twenty years later, this is still my passion.
After two decades working with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations, I now want to partner with yours—listening to your dreams, celebrating victories, and understanding your challenges.
At Illuminate, we promise:
• Story First: Every element serves your narrative
• Authenticity: Real people, real emotions, real impact
• Excellence: Films that look stunning and feel purposeful
Your mission deserves more than promotion—it deserves a film that carries hope, sparks empathy, and moves hearts to action.
Let's illuminate your story together.
