Some stories are love stories. This one is many.

Ho’omau: Joey’s Journey is a story of perseverance. Of navigating life with CIDP and choosing, again and again, to keep moving forward.

It is also a love story. About Joey’s love for life, his family, and the impact one person can have simply by continuing on. And yes, his bromance adventure with .

Set against Hawaii’s volcanic landscapes and captured through the lens of National Geographic photographer Josh Cogan, this film explores how travel can shift perspective, ignite resilience, and reconnect us to what matters most. Every step. Every shared moment. Every discovery.

This is Ho’omau.
A story about perseverance.
And about love that continues.

An original National Geographic documentary produced in partnership with Argenx.

Now streaming on Hulu.

Fire up the holidays with the Yule Log reimagined. 🔥

We partnered with to bring three brand-new immersive Yule Logs to life for the 2025 holiday season, inspired by some of the biggest shows on the world’s biggest platform.

From the eerie glow of Stranger Things, to the shadow-and-steel energy of KPop Demon Hunters, to the moody magic of Wednesday, each design was crafted frame by frame by our team at EVOLVE POST. 

Press is already lighting up. CNET, Variety, TODAY, and Mashable have all named these Yule Logs among the must-watch visuals of the season.

Huge shout out to our .studio team who brought these worlds to your TV fireplace. 

Three shows. Three worlds. Three Yule Logs that burn with storytelling.

Stay tuned. We’re sharing more from each design this week.

All three are BURNING on . 🔥

To close out Giving Week, we are revisiting our partnership with and the powerful story we helped bring to life through their illustrative film, THE KNIGHT.

S*x trafficking is a fight we can all stand against. It impacts millions of women and children worldwide. Even the bravest knights cannot fight alone. Your light matters in the fight against human trafficking.

A look behind the project:
Last year our team was brought in to help translate Atlas Free’s vision into a visual narrative that could meet the weight of the subject matter with clarity, beauty, and heart.

We built a world where symbolism, character design, and movement carried emotional truth without exploiting real stories of harm.

It was a collaborative process rooted in trust, purpose, and the belief that thoughtful storytelling can mobilize people toward impact.

Projects like this remind us why we do what we do. Craft meets cause, and the work becomes bigger than the frame.

The Atlas Free Mission:
Accelerate and resource the fight against s*x trafficking and exploitation.

As a nonprofit, they are building a global movement that unites funders, adventurers, and everyday people with the most effective local organizations around the world. Their work focuses on identifying and accelerating frontline initiatives and creating tools that help scale the global fight.

And it is working…

•Now more than 100 Network Members across 40 countries fight s*x trafficking daily.

•1,184,510 people have been impacted through aftercare, prevention, outreach, awareness, and intervention programs

•Over 300 unique programs holistically combating trafficking and scaling the global movement.

Proud to share our latest commercial created for Airbnb.org’s global campaign.

This project came together fast. Our team mobilized quickly, scouted hard, and landed in a tornado and fire-stricken home that carried the emotional truth this story deserved. It’s the kind of real-world environment that reminds us why we do what we do, and why stories matter.

A lean Evolve crew showed up with heart, grit, and the kind of collaboration that makes these productions possible.

Plus, we had a scene-stealing assist from Diesel, the beloved pup of and .
