SEIU United Healthcare Workers West | It's Never Been This Bad
There’s an elephant in the waiting room of every California hospital: our healthcare is in crisis and we need to talk about it. Every day, patients across California are experiencing the consequences of a dysfunctional healthcare system. From minor frustrations like long wait times, to major, life-threatening shortfalls in care, we’ve all felt what it means to be let down by failing healthcare. We’ve loved being a part of this project with WinningMark to help get this important message out.
Last year, we were fortunate enough to be involved in a handful of spots regarding the COVID vaccine. Tammy was one story among many that we were able to tell.
Worried about getting your kids vaccinated against COVID? Pediatrician Dr. Rastogi is here to help! In collaboration with Winning Mark and the Oregon Health Authority.

Meet Violet.
One of the biggest obstacles people face when working to end their homelessness is finding a landlord who's willing to rent to them. The Joint Office of Homeless Service and its community partners are always trying to innovate new ways to bridge that gap and help more people than ever end their homelessness for good.
That's where Move-In Multnomah comes in.
Move-In Multnomah is a new program, developed by the Joint Office of Homeless Services, that offers additional incentives and dedicated support to landlords willing to make housing units available to people coming out of homelessness. It's an expansion, and an acceleration, of work already under way in this community, helping thousands of our neighbors into homes of their own every year.
We’ve loved being a part of this campaign and are so proud of the work this community is doing.

Atkore's Regional Distribution Centers are offering a brand new approach to delivery in the manufacturing industry, and last year, we were tasked with getting the word out through a series of videos highlighting the services and product lines they supply. We always love collaborating with this crew and had such a blast bringing this one to life.
Back in 2020, the Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries (BOLI) expanded their veteran services within their apprenticeship training division, and they came to us to tell this story.
Most veterans are unaware these services even exist, but what it’s ultimately offering is a pathway to a career…a helping hand where it’s so desperately needed. They’re uniquely positioned to provide this support through the talents of their team, some of whom are veterans themselves (Lisa Ransom and Aaron Unpingco), which creates an opportunity for connection and understanding on a level far-and-above the typical human-to-business transaction. BOLI’s focus is human-to-human, providing grounded, connective conversations and letting you know they care and they’re here to help you transition into a career you truly care about, even providing insight into how apprenticeships aren’t all too dissimilar from your time in the service! There really is no better fit.
In February of 2020, Atkore’s Pendleton, Oregon PVC pipe manufacturing plant was hit by a once-in-a-lifetime flood, prompting evacuations, highway closures and emergency declarations. Unable to avoid the floodwaters, the Pendleton plant lost everything. A year later, they’re back in production. Wanting to tell this story, they sought our help in creating a 3-5 minute piece talking about what unfolded here all while promoting the reopening and the products they offer.
The Black Stonefly, Trailer
We’re so proud to announce that our short film, The Black Stonefly, has most recently been accepted into the Telluride Film Festival! This project would not have been possible without the collaboration of Freebuilt Films and Hard Row Productions.
Gian Lawrence (@theblackstonefly) is a fly fisherman and outdoorsman with a unique origin story. Growing up in Puyallup and Tacoma’s Hilltop, he fell into a life of crime, violence and destitution until a near-death experience opened his eyes and his soul to the outdoors and a sport largely inaccessible for young black men like himself, fly fishing.
Susannah, The Challenge.
With all the challenges this pandemic has caused, the @oregonfoodbank has seen an increase in demand, and thankfully the local community has stepped up to help meet those demands. From a local woman baking giant cinnamon rolls and donating the profits, to Pacific Seafood and the Retherford family of Newport donating 30,000lbs of rockfish, help has come from all over the state to help provide food to those in need. #portlandporchproject #alonetogether #togetherathome #covid19 #socialdistancing #coronavirus #istayhome #oregonfoodbank
Who is giving you strength during this time? Maybe it’s your mom, or your dad, your grandma, your partner, your children. Whoever it is, use this time to take the strength they give you and lift up others. Everyone could use some encouragement right now, even if it’s a simple phone call to check in and say, “I’m here for you. You got this.”

I Am // Madeline
A short form biopic of a female athlete, Madeline.
The idea to create this piece came to fruition over a few phone calls and coffee all thanks to a mutual friend. We had the opportunity to work with Madeline for two days in Palm Desert, California while she was taking a short break between performance gigs. During this intense and intimate period we sketched out what we wanted to create, the story we wanted to share and the feelings we wanted to evoke. We then got to work. In this process, her free spirit and dedication shone through, and brought us this short piece.
Thanks to all our friends, collaborators and the Lightbox team.
