Early Light Media

Season Two of La Frontera has won The James Beard Foundation Award for outstanding docuseries. Every single person -- from Pati Jinich to the editors -- put in 110% and it was evident in every frame. Our team produced 202K frames of TV in 6 months, a true labor of love. Thank you so much to everyone who worked hard and went the extra mile on this hard-fought yet satisfying project. #LaFronteraPBS

For the second year in a row, ELM provided video and livestream support to the annual Adobe Forum at the The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. We filmed opening and closing keynote addresses, breakout sessions throughout the day, and testimonials from Adobe staff and customers. A shoot like this requires a lot of moving parts over the course of the set up and event day, but the ELM team worked really well together to support the visual needs of the client. #FilmProduction #LiveStream #KennedyCenter #OnLocation

On Giving Tuesday, we ran a “Giveaway To Giveback” contest and pledged to support a nonprofit through a free short film. ShareBaby was the winner, and this video is the result. Check it out and learn about the organization: "With the rising price of goods everywhere, everyday necessities are reaching price points that are out of reach for more and more families. An adequate supply of baby essentials, like diapers and wipes, is more difficult to sustain. That's why, this Mother's Day, ShareBaby is on a mission to give the biggest Mother's Day gift Baltimore has ever seen by collecting funds to help 1,600 mothers diaper their children for a month. Starting May 1st, be sure to give by donating directly at sharebaby.org/make-a-gift. The greatest gift in the world is a mother's love, and we hope to give some of that love back to mothers in Baltimore! Thank you for your continued support and contributions. IT TAKES A VILLAGE!" #VideoProduction #NonProfit #NonProfit #VideoMarketing
