Passion Point Collective

We were honored to be featured in Credo Nonfiction Podcast Series on Brand Storytelling, and thrilled to have earned the top spot out of their 30 episodes. Our podcast highlights the importance of distribution, an often overlooked yet essential element for success of brand funded content. We highly recommend exploring all of these podcasts, as it offers valuable insights on brand storytelling. Thank you all for listening!   Jesse Roesler  #brandfundedfilms #brandstorytelling #filmdistribution #brandcontent

It is truly rewarding to meet film subjects who inspire us to do what we do. Shawn Cheshire is one of them, a remarkable individual, a true super-hero. We had the honor of presenting “Blind AF” at the Bentonville Film Festival, a documentary that captures Shawn’s extraordinary journey as the first blind person to ride a single, non-tandem bike across the U.S. So much more to come for this film, check out the trailer here! https://lnkd.in/gqCdgWM7 Geena Davis Institute, Gina LeVay #BFF2024 #DocumentaryFilm #FilmFestival 

Passion Point had the privilege of hosting the Q&A at the Bentonville Film Festival following the sold-out screening of the Linda Perry biopic “Let it Die Here”. PPC’s Marcus Peterzell, an award-winning director Don Hardy, and the iconic Linda Perry delved into their collaborative journey that explores Linda’s untold stories and rich musical life. The panel was followed by a solo performance by Linda that brought the crowd to its feet …. an amazing night!   Geena Davis Institute #BFF2024 #DocumentaryFilm #FilmFestival

We wanted to thank everyone for all your well wishes and congratulations on our anniversary. We did get a number of emails asking what do we attribute to our growth and success? Did we have some kind of secret sauce? Well, that's a great question and yes we do. The answer is AI. We were early adopters with AI and we utilized it from day one, and integrated into everything we do. We could not have done it without AI, it's as simple as that. To be clear though, there might be those who think we're talking about Artificial Intelligence, and although we're starting to use that AI as well, here we're talking about Amy’s Intuition, that would be Amy Slotnick, our SVP, who has been critical to the growth and success of Passion Point Collective. Amy joined us a few months after the agency launched and has contributed to every aspect of the agency's growth. We simply can't thank her enough. So you can call our AI: Amys’ Innovation, Amy's Intelligence or Amy's Instincts. We just call it Amy Incredible, and this is one AI no one can duplicate.

🌟 Happy Anniversary to us! Yes, it’s been five years since Passion Point was launched as “The Movie Studio for Brands”, and what a ride it’s been. Watch our 2 minute sizzle below chronicling our journey!  We are celebrating by launching our latest film Empathy in Africa for our amazing clients Viatris. Then we will be on the big stage at Tribeca X on June 11th for an insightful panel on brand film distribution. Two days later PPC is screening 3 films at Geena Davis's prestigious Bentonville Film Festival including the new Linda Perry doc “Let it Die Here”. The Q&A with Linda and director will be moderated by our founder Marcus Peterzell. We dedicate our five-year anniversary to our amazing PPC team, Clients, and Partners. That's the only reason we're here. Cheers! #brandstorytelling #BrandFilm #storytelling #360marketing #impactdrivenbusiness https://lnkd.in/gaTiU2DE

We are proud to launch "Empathy in Africa", a new documentary made by our client Viatris about three women in the Diepsloot Township of South Africa, who personify resilience in the face of tremendous obstacles and are reaching for a more hopeful future with the opening of the township's first health clinic. In celebration of International Nurses Month, the film is now streaming on Apple TV, WaterBear Network & Viatris channels! Congratulations to Team Viatris, Marcy Cohen, Niki Kapsambelis, Peter Dixon, and thank you for bringing us on board! It has been a privilege collaborating with you! https://lnkd.in/g638Gn9G
