Quartet | Stigma Reduction | Teacher

May is mental health awareness month, but we encourage you year-round to check out Quartet, a platform that takes the time to get to know its patients and match them to mental health providers based on needs, preferences and insurance. We produced this video for them as a part of a Stigma Reduction series. 💚

Veterans Health Administration | You Are Not Alone

Veterans returning home from service often struggle with feelings of depression, isolation and self-doubt, without the emotional support or resources they need to get through it. We produced this Veteran-to-Veteran video message with and Veterans Health Administration (VHA) - U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to encourage struggling Vets to call the Veterans Crisis Line, where responders are available 24/7 to listen and support.

Be a Hero | California Healthcare Conversations | Rosario Dawson

“We’ve lost a lot of people over the years simply because they just didn’t have coverage. And that is a crime.”

TED Countdown | Christiana Figueres

"Optimism opens the field of possibility. It drives your desire to contribute, to make a difference. It makes you jump out of bed in the morning because you feel challenged and hopeful at the same time."

Happy #EarthDay 🌍❤️ Today, we invite you to sit back and listen to the brilliant Christiana Figueres, a Costa Rican diplomat and global leader on climate change, talk about the mindset of stubborn optimism in the face of climate change–filmed last year for TED’s Climate Countdown. We hope her words inspire you to embrace not only the world around you, but your own power to change it.

Facebook Gaming | N0M4D

"Never in a million years did I think someone in my position would be in an arena [with] the whole crowd chanting my name. It's something I never thought I'd experience."

Randy, or N0M4D as he's known in the gaming community, was born with arthrogryposis, a rare and mysterious muscle and joint disorder. But early in life, he discovered an undeniable gift: gaming. From arcade machines to joysticks, he's dominated every level of competition by playing using only his mouth and chin. And streaming has only furthered his success–within the past year, Randy has taken the Facebook Gaming world by storm, where he's found a "new home" and become an advocate, friend, and source of inspiration for other aspiring gamers with disabilities.

Facebook Gaming | Creator Stories | Luure

"If my daughter wanted to start streaming, I would tell her to be herself. You can't let your circumstances, negativity, or anyone define you. Do what you want, let your personality shine, and be your own superstar."

When Luure’s daughter was born, she shifted careers from hairdressing to gaming and never looked back. For her, streaming with Facebook Gaming is more about human connection than it is about winning (though she can often be seen winning Counter-Strike), and she challenges the notion of what "should" define a gamer by encouraging her community to be unapologetically themselves.

Facebook Gaming | Creator Stories | Patty

"People always have an opinion on what you should do, how you should look, and how you should act. My advice to a woman starting out would be...don't listen."

As a young girl, Patty Meza was discouraged from pursuing gaming as a hobby, let alone as a professional career. But that didn't stop her from becoming one of Mexico's most popular streamers. Through Facebook Gaming, Patty has created a lively platform that not only encourages other women gamers to join her, but that embraces originality–she infuses her unique streaming experience with her love of eccentric cosplay and animals. Her game of choice? Dead by Daylight.

Reform LA Jails | #CancelTheContractAV

A year ago, Reform L.A. Jails successfully passed Measure R, which promised to increase access to community mental health services and combat mass incarceration and police violence in LA County.

But a year later, the sheriff is still resisting reform. So RLJ has a new plan–to cancel their contract with LA County Sheriff's Department, starting in the Antelope Valley. Listen to AV community members illustrate their new vision of schools, public housing and a hopeful, peaceful future beyond law enforcement.

WhatsApp Business | Cupcakes by Isa

Hard to believe, but exactly a year ago today, our crew was in Brazil getting ready to film with Cupcakes by Isa, a #womanownedbusiness started by a lawyer-turned-baker that uses WhatsApp Business to sell unique and enticing baked treats.

If anyone had told us at the time that it would be our last traveling shoot for the foreseeable future, we probably wouldn't have believed it. But we're grateful to have captured this story–among others–before shifting gears and changing the way we make films during COVID times. That being said, we can't wait to bring our teams worldwide again.

Happy International Women's Day! This month, we're rolling out a series we created with JZB Projects and Facebook Gaming, where each episode profiles a woman gamer in a different part of the world who adds fresh skills, representation, and perspective to the booming community.

First up: Malena0202, the most popular livestreamer in Brazil, who has cultivated a rich support base with women and the LGBTQIA+ community and who encourages community building by advocating for fellow women to stream under their actual names instead of male or androgynous nicknames. Catch her on Valorant Brasil, a free character-based tactical game that immerses players in lifelike fantasy worlds.
