THE SANCTUARY
Tiny Homes, Big Hope : The Journey Toward Permanent Housing
Project Summary
Sanctuary Indy is a local nonprofit pioneering a new approach in Indianapolis toward permanent supportive housing for our city’s chronically homeless population – the “too far gone”, misunderstood, and forgotten. By establishing a missional micro-community, they walk alongside their residents in helping them to navigate and rebuild their lives within a healthy environment.
To support this initiative, our team will produce a documentary-style video series that captures the story of this transformation — from concept to execution — and the lives changed along the way. This video content will be used for donor investment campaigns, awareness within church communities, social media, email marketing, and on the Sanctuary Indy website.
Goals:
Document the placement and development of the tiny home community
Capture powerful stories of individuals transitioning into permanent housing
Produce emotionally engaging content that compels viewers to support, donate and get involved
Offer flexible, multi-platform assets that serve fundraising, awareness and storytelling purposes
Director’s Statement
I don’t just make videos—I help people tell stories that matter.
My work is rooted in listening well, asking meaningful questions, and crafting visuals that feel honest and human. What sets me apart is my ability to uncover the deeper “why” behind a story and bring it to life with clarity, intention, and heart.
I believe great storytelling builds trust. And I’m here to help you do just that—with creativity, strategy, and a process that feels collaborative from start to finish.

PRE-PRODUCTION
To get things started we’ll connect via Zoom, a phone call or in person to talk through the details and specifics of the project and each shoot day. This process includes a Pre-Production Questionnaire.
We’ll identify key moments, events and individuals that we want to capture
Prepare questions for interviews (as needed)
Create a tentative schedule for outlining key events, days, times, location(s), etc.
Discuss final deliverables and platforms being utilized
PRODUCTION
Production will include multiple cameras (possibly including a drone), as well as lighting and audio. For this project we will plan on a total of 2.5 days of shooting. This will include a half-day shoot with the street outreach team, connecting with individuals and capturing the what and why considering questions like, “What is homelessness?” “Why does it exist?” We will also plan to be on site at the 5-acre property for the delivery, install and preparation of the homes to capture the process and work that it takes to build a micro-community like this. For our final day we will schedule interviews with team members and potentially individuals moving into the micro-community.
For our time with the street outreach team we will arrive about 1 hour prior to our shoot to go over the schedule, locations, etc. and prep gear for filming
For our time on the property we will arrive about 1 hour prior to when crews beginning home delivery and prep to ensure we understand the schedule and layout of the day before prepping gear for filming
For interviews, we will arrive roughly 1.5-2 hours prior to the shoot to set up and prep gear so we’re ready to begin filming on time. For these interviews it would be great to utilize one of the tiny homes on the property for filming; either the interior or setting up outside with the home in the background (depending on weather)
POST-PRODUCTION
This is where it all comes together. We piece together the video components into engaging, authentic content to help tell your story.
Reviewing and selecting best segments from b-roll for engaging content
Color grading footage
Adding lower thirds, graphics, titles or additional text
Audio editing (including EQ, artifact removal, compression, etc.)
Selecting appropriate musicbed for the video (including necessary licensing)
Ensuring the right tone, feel and flow for the story
Creating backups and storage for all files and clips
