This August, the Community Foundation honors eight leaders redefining Black philanthropy across Middle Tennessee. Laws of Ace Films turns each honoree into a documentary spotlight, and the class into a film that opens the night. Here is the plan we built together.
Each person gets the same attention: a story shaped around who they are, what they have built, and who it reaches. Nobody gets the leftover slot at the end of a long day. Below is that same format, already delivered for organizations across Middle Tennessee.
Creative Girls Rock, one of your partners, is how you found this work. Laws of Ace Films is glad they sent it your way.
One sit-down becomes a full film, a short cut, and a vertical version built for the feed. This is exactly how each Gamechanger spotlight would be delivered.
Captured at the Pinnacle Small Business Summit and cut vertical for where your audience already scrolls. The format your team can drop straight into social and the newsletter, with no reformatting on your end.
Gamechangers happens out in the world, not on a set. This was captured on the move, with cinematic B-roll pulled from an uncontrolled environment and a narrative that still holds together at the end.
Shot run-and-gun at CMA Fest and cut vertical for social. The same instincts go to work wherever your honorees do theirs, no set required.
Big nights move fast. Laws of Ace Films covers the energy, the speakers, and the moments that matter, then delivers a recap your community actually shares. The same coverage would turn the August 27 celebration into a film worth sharing long after the room clears.
Clean audio, considered light, and a calm presence on set. The same operator on every shoot, in control whether it is a quiet interview or a moving event.
Headphones on, levels watched in real time, and a plan for sound before the camera ever rolls. That is the difference between footage you can use and footage you cannot.
Scouting the space the week of the 23rd. Interview questions drafted for your review once the class is named.
Once the eight are named and scheduled, Laws of Ace Films takes it from there. Scouting, capture, and delivery are handled in house. Your team stays focused on the storytelling.
All eight interviews batched on two shoot days in your building, on two cameras. B-roll visits scheduled separately at each honoree's workplace. A Community Foundation voice filmed on camera to anchor the montage.
The one to two minute ensemble film, featuring all eight and anchored by the Foundation speaking to why Gamechangers matters, delivered in hand the day before the event. Not the morning of.
Spotlight films and vertical cutdowns delivered on your release calendar, sequenced so each honoree's profile page goes live with its film, transcript, and social cuts ready to go.
Eight honorees, seventeen films, one number. No surprises, and nothing changes unless you choose it.
A documentary spotlight for each honoree.
All seventeen films, delivered on your calendar.
The night of August 27, captured as its own film.
Two revision rounds included on every film. A third shoot day, if scheduling calls for it, is $850.
The agreement and invoice are ready to review below. Once the class is named and the two shoot days are locked, sample interview questions will follow for your review before anyone sits down in front of a camera.
