What an honor it was to document not only Amy and Stephanie’s inspirational stories, but also to witness the beautiful ways in which folks show up for this organization. With the help of this film at the 2023 auction, the fabulous nonprofit Lifehouse raised a whopping $200,000 more than in previous year’s auctions, bringing their total fundraising effort for the event to $730,000 in 2023 and then $800,000 in 2024 when we were commissioned to create another Full Life Story for the event. The films, which screened at Craneway Pavilion in 2023 and SF’s Fort Mason in 2024, featured Lifehouse’s wonderful residents and catalyzed an emotional response prior to the first ‘paddle raise’ of the evening.
