Nonprofit video for Homeless Solutions Inc.
Our documentary overview video told just one of many stories of homelessness in New Jersey. The resulting nonprofit video compelled donors to give generously to the worthy nonprofit at their annual gala.
Homeless Solutions’ philosophy is “a hand up, not a handout,” and they strive to embody that philosophy each day. With a fundraising gala on the horizon, they wanted to communicate that principle and tug at the heartstrings of potential donors.
A documentary-style overview video that told a story of loss and redemption with the help of Homeless Solutions.
The video would follow the journey of individuals who faced overwhelming challenges, highlighting the deep struggles of homelessness in NJ while also shining a light on hope and recovery. Through authentic interviews, emotionally resonant visuals, and candid moments, we would aim to capture the humanity and resilience of those helped by Homeless Solutions. If our team could paint a vivid picture of how the organization’s compassionate support and comprehensive programs helped these individuals rebuild their lives, then viewers would be emotionally moved to support the charity.
"I was impressed with the time they took to not only understand our goals for the project, but also to understand our organization and its mission. They always manage to create a meaningful and moving way to share our story. If you're looking for a creative, dynamic team that comes in on message, on time and on budget, these are your guys."

Director of Development, Homeless Solutions
The team at Awakened Films listened closely, studying Homeless Solutions and their mission. We learned what they were looking for and made a plan to realize their vision:
Creating a video is easy—creating a meaningful one takes intention and curiosity. Success lies in uncovering compelling storylines through emotionally intelligent interviews. Pair this with carefully crafted, cinematic b-roll visuals that elevate the narrative, and a nonprofit will receieve a video that resonates and leaves a lasting impact.
Our short documentary-styled fundraising video was premiered at the Homeless Solutions gala to many tears & much applause and the evening’s event hit a record-breaking high for donations. The response was so overwhelming that the nonprofit decided to invest in telling a new nonprofit video story every year.
