This week, Bini and Raimy sit down with Elisheva Hudson of Hudson Films, a true expert in nonprofit video production. Elisheva knows exactly how to craft videos that do more than tell a story. They inspire action.
In this episode, she takes us behind the scenes of nonprofit filmmaking and breaks down the dos and don'ts of creating compelling content. She shares her best tips for getting the most out of interviews, reveals the secret to capturing raw emotion on camera, and explains how to hold a viewer's attention in an age of ever-shrinking attention spans.
If you have ever wondered how to make a nonprofit video that actually moves people but did not know where to start, this episode is for you. We walked away with a ton of insights and we think you will too.
