AWARD RECOGNITIONS
Jargon-free Empathy
We helped NCCADV shape the video’s script to ensure the dialogue would be accessible, sympathetic, and engaging. This was achieved by omitting jargon and abstract language that could hinder feeling empathy toward the story.
Creative Privacy Protection
Because the narrative is based on a true story, using animation served to help protect the privacy of the individual whose story was being told. Also, by avoiding a live-action depiction, actors could not be misconstrued as having been victims of romantic partner violence due to participation in the video.
