It's time to head back to school... Let's start with the basics. Check back over the next few weeks for Production 101. Welcome to Class!

Collaborating with our clients to create work that generates emotional responses IRL experiences is our specialty!

The final stop on our Telly celebration tour… A PSA entitled “Perseverance”. We’re honored to have been entrusted to highlight The Horatio Alger Association’s scholarship program which supports deserving young people who are overcoming significant challenges and are committed to pursuing higher education. This win would not have been possible without our talented team: Sean Duetsch (EP), Isaac Shaw (Producer), Katie Hennicke (Writer), Jon Koengetter (Director), Dean Tattulli (DP), and Sean McManus (Editor).

The next spot on our 2024 Telly celebration tour: Blue Cross NC’s “Yes Plan! 2”. When our friends at Direct Choice Inc asked us to join them in creating the sequel to last year’s successful campaign, we couldn’t say anything but “Yes!”. This Bronze Telly winner would have been impossible without our talented production team led by Sean Duetsch (Executive Producer), Veronica Sanders (Producer), Chris Foster (Director), Jon Koengetter (DP).

Next up, our 2024 Telly table is set with this delicious spot that we put together for The Rustik Oven. This Bronze Telly winner was the result of a creative kitchen collab with our friends at Vault Communications. And we’d be remiss if we did not acknowledge our talented production team led by Sean Duetsch (Executive Producer), Isaac Shaw (Producer), Dominic Episcopo (Director), Anthony Massey (DP) and artfully edited by M. Sean McManus. Dig in!

1st up on our 2024 Telly tour – a nice little spot we put together for Jefferson Health Plans called “Reshape Your Medicare”. This Silver Telly winner is brought to you in collaboration with the creative team at Direct Choice Inc and by our incredible production team led by Veronica Sanders (Producer), Chris Foster (Director), and Jon Koengetter (DP) and masterfully edited by M. Sean McManus.

Damian & Jermaine Johnson are brothers with vision. They created No Grease Inc. – the first Black-owned franchise barbershop in the country. They grew from humble beginnings rooted in their childhood kitchen to 13 locations across four states, plus a barbershop school! The Johnson twins’ entrepreneurial spirit is truly inspiring. And so is the way that TD Bank nourishes and supports the American Dream. We are incredibly proud to help TD Bank tell this amazing story.

And there’s more where this comes from. Check out additional No Grease! videos here: https://hubs.la/Q02lnw5y0

Ray-Ban - an iconic brand - wanted to create a dynamic experience for the launch of their new “Genuine Since” campaign at the 2023 Vision Expo East.
Long time partners, Public School - part of the Czarnowski Collective - trusted us to bring this experience to life.
The big idea? An immersive audio/visual tunnel experience to welcome, enhance and spread word about their new campaign.
We designed, animated and edited a two-minute, 17-screen immersive surround sound experience for the campaign launch, which was the centerpiece for Essilor Luxottica’s booth at Vision Expo East. Huge shout out goes to creative director, Kris Mohfanz, who loves to challenge us. He was the driving force behind this fun, unique, and collaborative project.

As we wrap up the year we thought we’d look back on some of the great work that we were privileged to create in 2023. A heartfelt thanks goes out to all our clients, partners and crew for helping to make our 45th year a big success. We look forward to an even bigger 2024! Happy New Year from the team at CCFV!

Wishing you peace, love and understanding...
