Video Project: Book Launch 

Project Goal: To create a promotional video for Jess’ book as well as a speaker reel for her media communications. 

Project Summary

Jessica Buchanan is a teacher, author, humanitarian, speaker, and survivor. Abducted at gunpoint while on a routine field mission in Somalia in 2011, Jessica was rescued by SEAL Team VI, by order of President Obama, after 93 days. Since this life-altering event, Jessica has dedicated her life to speaking, writing, and traveling the world to raise awareness and inspire others, including as a volunteer for the non-profit organization, Hostage US. Helm came alongside Jessica’s dynamic movement for utilizing her voice to invest into others and filmed both a series of videos for her book release, and well as compiling her speaking footage and new footage to create an engaging speaker reel to use in media promotions and placements, and to send on her behalf for all upcoming engagements. 

Helm Creative Studio has been such an enormous pleasure to work with. We finalized our second project with them and are starting our third (we are a publishing house for women) and every time we work with them, we are met with undivided attention, unmatched creativity and authentic story telling support. Their teams are incredibly professional and let me tell you, they work HARD. We go through multiple interviews in one sitting and they barely stop to eat. Ashley and her team are so committed to their calling of story telling and it shows! I couldn’t recommend them enough!
