Bevel Up Outreach (Film)

Project Description

Bevel Up, a film by Nettie Wild, follows the BCCDC outreach nurse team as they provide care for people in Vancouver's downtown eastside. The DVD includes extra materials that are useful in an educational context, and gives a human face to the idea of harm reduction. We worked on doing outreach on social media for the film, connecting it to communities interested in Harm Reduction. 

LACE - Making Health Fashionable!

Project Description

Hello Cool World created a unique transmedia campaign for BC Cancer Agency. The first of its kind to use social media, short film, and grassroots outreach, LACE Campaign (Live Aware, Create Empowerment) turned the tables on the world of ‘ribbon’ branding, and made Pap tests fun (or at least not so bad). In 2011, we received an Award of Excellence in Health Promotion from the BC Medical Association.

One part of this project entailed doing a fashion shoot and PSA with the tagline: Don't forget what's inside! The ad ran on TV in during Pap Awarness week during the America's Next Top Model. 

By My Name

Project Description

"By My Name" was the fourth video in the Star in Your Own Stories workshop series we did in collaboration with Chee Mamuk and First Nations communities, in this case the Nak'azdli band in Ft. St James, BC.

The Corporation Film & Campaign

Project Description

The Corporation is Canada's top-grossing documentary of all time and winner of 26 international awards. We've done the branding for the film and campaign. We had a very successful crowdfunding campaign that raised money for the relaunch of the film for the 10th Anniversary which we are giving away to 1000 schools. The Corporation also partnered with Shadows of Liberty and Move to Amend to create a special mashup of our three films.

Circles of Understanding

Project Description

Circles of Understanding is a program that educates the public about the history of residential schools in Canada. Over two years we did two photoshoots, the first with Elders and youth around the impact of residentials schools across the generations, and the second with celebrating resilience and the many accomplishments of indigenous people. These portrait photos and stories became content for a website and workshop and print materials. Excerpts pictured here are from the two brochures and, and 20 display banners.
