Google : Heroes of Small Business
I worked with the wonderful team at imaginary forces to create a series of short films celebrating small business owners, while also brining awareness to a small business grant program put into place by google.
The film I was responsible for featured Cindy Ayers Elliott, the owner of foot print farms, a community garden focused on giving back to the community in Mississippi. The concept was to take the broad strokes of Cindy’s story, and to look at it through the lens of a comic book / anime, with her featured as the hero.
