THE CONTENTLY FOUNDATION

Telling stories that need to be heard is at the heart of everything Dugud Lab does. While many organizations tell stories that matter, it's rare to find a group of people that believe in the inherent power of storytelling and its potential to change the world. Director & Co-Founder Zack McDowell had the pleasure of creating a mission video for The Contently Foundation. This organization sheds light on stories often overlooked by major news sources.

Through steadfast investigative journalism, this NY based 501(c)3 has partnered with Fusion, Gawker, New York Post, and the Guardian to bring these stories to the masses. You may not know that these stories can take months to investigate and countless hours from various volunteers to put together. Zack was fortunate to follow their team for a week, gain insight into all they do, and create a video that strives to capture all their great work.

CELEBRATE MOM WITH HELEN FICALORA

Happy Mother's Day from our friends at Helen Ficalora! In an effort to highlight their charming collection of jewelry, we teamed up to produce this playful promo video to showcase Ficalora’s holiday gifts. The concept was to celebrate in a way that is as effortless and timeless as the jewelry itself.

Dugud Lab handled concept development, full-service video production (incl. cinematography, lighting, staging, wardrobe and post-production). We hope that your day is filled with a lot of laughter and a little bit of sparkle. Here's to celebrating all that the things that the special ladies in your lives do to make you into the awesome humans that you are.
