The Know Better Effect

In just a few hours we finally begin principle photography for The Know Better Effect! We can’t thank the creator, Leigh Halsema, enough for trusting us and giving us the opportunity to be a part of this incredible project.

A little more about The Know Better Effect…

“The Know Better Effect teaches children empathy and compassion by visualizing the world from a socially conscious point of view. The show follows a group of kids that find a mysterious old box labeled KBDB (Know Better, Do Better). They set out on a mission to become stewards of The Know Better Effect and explore their community and surrounding neighborhoods, learning how others live and what it means to help those in need.

In the pilot episode, our characters visit a homeless shelter and food bank, and meet other kids that are practicing KBDB. The power of empathy and understanding drives the characters to follow this mysterious KBDB box in future missions and spread The Know Better Effect movement.”

The Know Better Effect allows kids to gain a visual understanding of world issues in an age-appropriate and exciting environment. Each episode demonstrates confidence, self-esteem, friendship, empathy, compassion, and the benefit of sacrifice.”

Kickstarter

We have started a Kickstarter to help fund finalizing out feature length documentary shot in Colombia. Help support the movement.

Support The Revolution

As many of you know, we have been working for over a year now with Give Us Names working on creating a feature length documentary film called Leaving La Floresta. Give Us Names, Inc. is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization seeking to improve the lives of displaced Colombians. Our goal is to tell their stories in such a way that those who hear them will not rest until displacement ends, justice is brought to the perpetrators, and the rights of the displaced are recognized and protected.

You can see the trailer here.

So far this film has required 3 trips to Colombia and countless hours planning and editing. In order to help offset the costs of creating this film I am going to start selling prints of my photos from Colombia. This is a great way for you guys to help be a part of creating this film and get something in return. We are starting a revolution and I can’t wait for everyone to be able to see this film.

Below each photo is a tab to select your print size and add to cart. Thanks for being a part of the movement!

Reel

It has been almost 3 years since we have updated our demo reel. Here is a newer version finally. This still rough and should be changing even more soon.

Leaving La Floresta Trailer from Whisper Productions on Vimeo.

We at Whisper Productions have had the incredible privilege to partner with our friends at Give Us Names and tell the story of Abelardo Joya and his family.

Abelardo is a farmer who grew yucca, plantains, and cocoa (what you make chocolate from). One day he was forced to leave his farm because he could no longer grow anything on his land and could not provide for his family. This was all thanks to the United States tax dollars at work with its policy called Plan Colombia.

Plan Colombia’s goal is to slow the production of Coca (what you make cocaine from) by dropping an herbicide in attempts to kill the coca. In our documentary we show how that only increases coca production and harms innocent families such as Abelardo’s who want nothing to do with growing coca.
