Vivid Story creates visuals to imagine a sustainable future
At Vivid Story, we create video production and photography campaigns. Since our establishment in 2014, we've been dedicated to social and environmental impact, working with global nonprofits and tech companies to tell compelling character-driven stories. We are proud to be a Certified B Corporation and a member of 1% for the Planet. Our cinematic work cultivates emotional connections, inspiring audiences to envision what's possible.
Our videos and creative collaborations have been watched by millions online, raised significant funding at galas, and connected with audiences at venues like the United Nations, Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, Skoll World Forum, Women Deliver, and Times Square.
Working with UNITE 2030, we created visuals to inspire the next generation of global changemakers.
UNITE 2030 brought together over 200 top young leaders from across the globe for six days of innovation and co-creation for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We photographed and filmed this inaugural event in upstate New York. On the final day before the attendees pitched to a panel of UN experts in NYC, we unveiled to them a Times Square video billboard featuring footage of themselves from that week, reflecting back their greatness and sending the message that through working together they can reach their potential.

Working with the humanitarian agency CARE and VR for Good by Meta, we made the virtual reality experience Women on the Move.
We directed and produced the immersive experience in Niger using groundbreaking virtual reality equipment. It has been watched over a million times and presented at events including SXSW, Sundance, Skoll World Forum, Harvard Social Enterprise Conference, Women Deliver Conference, United Nations, and the CARE National Conference.
In Women on the Move, experience the intimacy of rural Niger with Fatchima and her granddaughter, Nana. Fatchima unlocked a better future for women in her village through an empowerment program that is upending the culture of child marriage and gender discrimination. Viewers stand tall with these women as they save money, support each other, and insist on education for children such as Nana. This is a rare glimpse into what’s possible when women band together and are inspired to change.

“I would definitely recommend Vivid Story to other organizations. We developed a virtual reality project from start to finish together in a very short amount of time. Their commitment, passion, and follow-through on the project was very impressive. We are so proud of the work we did with Vivid Story...it was a job well done!”
We produced a cinematic series of videos showcasing how HP products are used in higher education.
HP creates industry-leading virtual reality headsets. We worked with directors Jongsma + Oneill to showcase how this technology is helping university professors and students shape the future of media production. From capturing aerial shots in rural Nebraska to filming inside the University of Nebraska and the historic Computer Music Center at Columbia University, we brought to life how academics use HP technology to push the boundaries of research and content creation.
We filmed social impact leaders around the globe for the American Express Leadership Academy.
The American Express Leadership Academy builds the personal, business, and leadership skills of emerging nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs. Working for the Academy in collaboration with SparkAction, we directed and produced profile videos to showcase the journeys of social purpose leaders overcoming obstacles to achieve their missions. Filming leaders in communities from Singapore, Kenya, Canada, India, and Britain to across the United States, we captured the motivations and relationships driving their real-world impact.
"In the several years I've worked with Vivid Story, it has truly felt like a partnership. They are incredible long-term partners and collaborators. They absolutely understand our vision and work, and give input that elevates it to a different level. Their combination of technical skills and understanding of how to tell compelling human-driven stories is excellent...I unequivocally recommend their services."
We created videos featuring scholars and scientists who have been supported by IIE.
Since 1919, IIE has been a world leader in international education. They advance international education and access to education worldwide through initiatives like the Fulbright Program and Scholar Rescue Fund.
Over multiple years, we have collaborated with IIE to direct and produce profile videos featured at their annual fundraising events in NYC. Featuring the inspiring stories of scholars and scientists who escaped war-torn countries to continue their research, our videos have helped IIE make emotional connections with rooms full of distinguished guests. The videos received standing ovations and raised funding for critical programs to support scholars worldwide.
“Vivid Story produced videos for IIE to be screened at our Annual Gala. They were creative, professional, fully dedicated to the project and—most importantly—able to craft compelling stories that reinforced our organizational narrative using their full range of visual, editing, and people skills. I would highly recommend Vivid Story's services to any organization that is looking to showcase their work and its impact in a compelling way.”
Every collaboration is a partnership guided by mutual respect. We prioritize understanding your story, and provide open communication and structured guidance.
