🎬 Kevin’s Story: A Life of Joy, Care, and Community with Hammer & NER

First shown at our Reach for Ralph event on June 26, this moving video shares the story of Kevin—a longtime Hammer & NER resident whose life has been shaped by tradition, support, and deep community connection.

From joyful State Fair visits to navigating serious health challenges, Kevin’s journey is a powerful reminder of what’s possible with compassionate care and a network of people who believe in every individual’s potential.

💙 This story wouldn’t be possible without the ongoing support of our donors, staff, families, and friends. You help make full, connected, and independent lives possible.

Watch Kevin’s story and see the impact you help create.

🎥🩺 Video puts the “care” back in healthcare.
A dedicated video provider profile lets prospective patients meet you before they ever set foot in your clinic. When people can see your smile, hear your approach, and sense your passion, you melt white-coat anxiety and build trust long before the first appointment.

Why hit “record”?
✍ Deeper engagement.
Video content earns up to 2× more shares than text alone, extending your reach and word-of-mouth referrals.
✍ Clearer understanding.
Short clips answering FAQs or explaining procedures turn complex concepts into confident next steps.
✍ Stronger recall.
Viewers remember 95 % of a message when they watch it on video, versus just 10 % when they read it.

In a sea of resumes and headshots, credentials get you noticed, but your story gets you chosen.

Potential clients are scrolling right now. Let them see the person behind the scrubs and start the relationship before “hello.”

Here's a recent healthcare client Storyboard Films worked with - you'll notice their website features both our photography (main homepage image of both doctors) as well as two provider profile videos, one we did a few years ago and a recent one from this summer for their newest provider addition.

Tips for Non-Profit Leaders ⤵️
You do life-changing work, but even the most powerful missions need a compelling story.

Tired of having to constantly Explain Your Value and What Makes You Different?

When every firm claims to “drive results,” “partner strategically,” and “deliver value”… how do potential clients know you’re the one they should trust?

Here’s the truth:
Buyers aren’t just comparing services. They’re comparing stories.

🔹 What’s your “why”?
🔹 Who have you helped—and how?
🔹 What’s it like to work with you?

If you can’t communicate those answers quickly and emotionally, you’re just another name in the deck.

🎥 That’s where video comes in.

We create documentary-style brand videos that show—not just tell—your difference. Real stories. Real people. Real impact.

Because when a potential client sees your passion, hears your clients talk about your impact, and gets a sense of who you really are…

That’s when trust starts to form.
That’s when you stop competing on price.
That’s when you become unforgettable.

👋 If you’re a firm in the Twin Cities looking to finally cut through the noise, we’d love to talk. ➡ StoryboardFilms.com
