OK I AM NOT GOING TO CRY… Sometimes you come across a story, and I mean one that really shakes you and makes you fight back the tears. That was the case when we learned about Harper and her journey with T1D. We partnered with Breakthrough T1D(formerly JDRF) to bring Harper’s story to life. We knew we wanted to show her everyday life and really capture her…in her element, with the highs and lows. T1D is no joke and our entire team was captivated by the support system it takes to battle such a disease, from her parent’s constant attention and worry to her sisters’ assistance in managing the numbers. It really takes a team and it's evident how impactful a diagnosis can be. Then there’s Harper. She's unbelievably strong and has such a positive outlook, even while living with Type 1 Diabetes. This film was created to showcase just that, SHE is an inspiration. If you have the opportunity, join the movement to end T1D. https://lnkd.in/gfBjJafb Production: Matter Films Agency: THE HARKEY GROUP In Collaboration with: Breakthrough T1D Featuring: Harper Jackman and Meagan Jackman Director: Brandon Barnard Producer: Alicia Longo Director of Photography: Alex Kline 1st AC: Drake Dewar Photographer: Kyle Gilbert Gaffer: Daniel Harvey Editor: Tom J.

🏆 Exciting News to Share! 🏆 I am thrilled to announce that the commercial I directed for Phoenix Children’s Hospital has been honored with an Emmy Award! This achievement marks a significant milestone in my career, but more importantly, it underscores the power of storytelling in driving meaningful impact. Collaborating with Phoenix Children's & Matter Films, our goal was to create a narrative that not only highlights the hospital's extraordinary work but also resonates with the strength and resilience of the children and families they support. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Jennifer Roberts for entrusting me with such a powerful and inspiring story. And of course, our incredible team of creatives, producers, and crew members whose talent and dedication brought this vision to life. This journey has reinforced my belief in the transformative power of visual storytelling in advertising. As we celebrate this achievement, let's also remind ourselves of the ongoing challenges in pediatric healthcare and the importance of supporting institutions like Phoenix Children’s Hospital. #EmmyAward #HealthcareHeroes #Storytelling #PhoenixChildrensHospital #VisualStorytelling #MakingADifference
