Why I Carry the Torch. TD Bank and Special Olympics.

As humans – we look to each other for camaraderie, support and fulfilment. Even the most independent among us needs others. To varying degrees, the pandemic has caused us all to struggle in isolation. Even in normal times, marginalization is all-too-familiar among people with intellectual disabilities.

Our team at CCFV was honored to play a small role in the #InclusionRevolution as we partnered with our friends at TD to amplify the voices of these inspirational Special Olympics athletes. Join us in support and celebration of these incredible individuals as they strive together to break down the barriers to inclusion.

For 13 years, TD Bank has proudly supported Special Olympics. We asked several athletes why they carry the torch. Here's what they had to say.

Safety is always a priority on set, but now it’s more important than ever.

Our small but mighty crew convened in our studio recently to film important medical information while adhering to all the current CDC guidelines.

Here are some precautions the team took to keep everyone safe:

- Leveraged webstreaming tech to conform to social distancing. Our clients and producers viewed via Microsoft Teams, giving feedback in real-time.

- Kept the on-set crew as small as possible. Our CCFV team is cross-trained so multitasking allowed us to keep our crew small but effective.

- Kept a distance of 6 feet when possible. In addition, all crew members wore gloves and masks at all times.

- Washed hands frequently. CCFV has a washroom adjacent to the studio and hand sanitizer at the ready.

Thank you to Jenna Scotti, Chris Foster, Alan Pratt, Deb Foster, Lindsay Foret and the crew at CCFV for all they do!

Meet an Interiorscape Professional

April is #NationalGardenMonth, and as we look at our yards and gardens, there is no doubt that #spring has awakened our plants!

While you may be familiar with the professionals that tend to our outdoor landscapes, have you ever wondered who designs and cares for those beautiful indoor planters and displays seen in hotels, resorts, and office buildings? We spoke with one of our friends at the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) to learn more about Interiorscape Pros and how they design, install and maintain those gorgeous interior plant displays.

This spot was created for Missy Henriksen at NALP. Produced at #CCFV by @Lisa Fasano, Sean Duetsch, and Emmett Madden-Prado. Shot on location by Randy Palmer, Anthony Massey. Pedro Cunillera, Gaffer.

National Association of Landscape Professionals gives you a day in the life of an Interiorscape Professional.

While the students were interested in the work we're producing right here in Philly, we were so excited to meet Philadelphia's up-and-coming creative minds! Thanks for visiting us!

CCFV has been working on a collaborative piece with Ms. Greene for several months now - and we can't wait to reveal it!
