*no moms were harmed in the making of this film
Exactly one year ago, Greencard shared this film that our community of makers joined together to create. Though we didn’t know it at the time, the sense of isolation we were striving to soothe with our message of kinship had only just begun. Today, businesses are reopening, more and more children are returning to classrooms, and friends and families are reuniting. There is still a ways to go before we are out of the woods, but now, every day truly does keep getting better and better. And hopefully, the overwhelmingly positive sense of being in this together is the one aspect of the pandemic that will stick with us forever.
For today’s CLIO Awards, Greencard Pictures was honored to create this tribute to the creativity that united us during a year of unprecedented hardships and extraordinary change. Although the world closed in 2020, the ad industry kept the dialogue open. Disrupting gender stereotypes, challenging racial norms, connecting an isolated world, and compelling people to let their voices be heard. Through a living collage of platform-specific ads, playing on the screens of an infinitely diverse audience, we celebrate content that moved the conversation forward and generated light in dark times.

Greencard director Nathan Crooker’s COVID-inspired horror anthology film, ISOLATION, is getting some very impressive press, and for a very good reason. The nine contributing filmmakers from all corners of the world had two uniquely challenging creative hurdles; strict adherence to local safety guidelines, and using only the equipment and resources they had with them when they entered into lockdown.

Got a little extra time to worry about the increasingly uncertain future these days? You’re not alone. Greencard director @ChellStephen is back on her couch with "Worried," a follow up video to her “I’m Scared” piece we shared earlier this year.
So pleased our #newwork for Voltaren with Paula Abdul has finally aired! Shot on set with the delightful icon of pop back in November, Greencard collaborated with the brilliant Alan Bibby and our friends at The-Artery to transport today’s Paula into her classic #ForeverYourGirl music video - where she dances alongside her former self without skipping a beat!
We can’t wait to binge watch AppleTV+’s “Dear…" this weekend! Greencard collaborator Pete McCoubrey directed episodes featuring the likes of Stevie Wonder, Lin Manuel Miranda, Misty Copeland and Big Bird. The unique documentary-style series profiles legendary icons and the people whose lives they’ve inspired. All ten moving and inspirational episodes went live today on AppleTV+.
During her time in quarantine, Greencard director Chell Stephen teamed up with her husband Elijah Ocean to shoot his "Cleaned Up in Vegas" music video in their living room, using flashlights with household items as gels for lighting, and a neighbor's fog machine. The clip premiered via Rolling Stone Country!

Inspired by a neighbor who had rallied his whole block to volunteer and fund raise for those affected by COVID-19, Greencard collaborator Michael Sugarman decided to spotlight stories from all over about individual acts of kindness and generosity in the midst of the pandemic. With programming help from a web designer (https://escapehatch.co/) and his brother's graphic design contributions, he started KindnessPandemic.org. "It's a tribute to all the people who are renewing my faith daily in the basic goodness and resilience of our species, and I hope it helps in some way to spread the spirit of mutual responsibility that we're all depending on so heavily right now."
If you've been inspired by someone doing good in your own community, you can easily post their story on the site as a way of passing along that inspiration to others.
Kindness is spreading. In this time of crisis, people everywhere are performing incredible acts of courage on behalf of others.
Our oddly addictive series "Food Party" made the Los Angeles Times list of "The five TV shows we can't get enough of this week." Shout out to creator Thu Tran and Greencard producer Melody Roscher, and of course Peter Van Hyning! You too can binge the entire series on Amazon Prime Video.

"Two Sentence Horror Stories" made the The New York Times list for Shows That Serve Bite-Size Scares! Greencard’s EP Emily Wiedemann and Vera Miao's The CW series "Two Sentence Horror Stories" is streaming on Netflix for your horrific enjoyment.
The Netflix hit rejuvenated interest in short, dark TV tales, and now streaming services are awash in eerie stories with last-minute twists. Here’s a blood-spattered buffet of horror anthologies.
With the city that never sleeps at a standstill, we wanted to imagine and animate what could happen if kids took over the empty NYC streets with no consequence or worry.
