Happy one-year workiversary, Sam! Always being her quirky and authentic self, our Communications Manager hunts down inspiration wherever she goes. Learn more about Sam below. Q: What is your favorite part about working at Bowstring? A: I get to come to work with brilliant creatives all day - who wouldn't love that. I really like that I get to mix artistic energy and practical ideas together. We also have a team that supports one another through thick and thin. I think that's... really unique. Q: Why is STORY FIRST important to you? A: Bowstring's mission is to tell others' stories. I get to tell Bowstring's story and I take that responsibility seriously. I think I look for stories out in the world all the time. I like uncovering what's underneath the surface. I think it's important for people to tell their story to help others, as well as themselves. You never who is consuming what you produce and how that media could spark change for the better. Q: What would you be doing if you didn't work in video production? A: I guess I could be a communications professional in any field but I have always followed my passion for the arts and entertainment. Is there a job that is part landscape designer, part rock climber, and part cat lady? I would do that.

Phase One of Kennedy Health's Cherry Hill Campus is complete! Although it won't be finished until 2019, the space is already welcoming and modern (and perfect for timelapses). This center will make a great resource for the community. Check out the commercial we produced, with our great partners at LevLane, to get an early look inside the New Jersey hospital.

Happy 4th of July, everyone! We're celebrating a summer full of travel and exciting projects with new partners. Here is a clip we captured in Georgia a few months ago. Sparkle on. #4thofjuly #video #sparkler #summer

Happy three-year workiversary, Matt! This Senior Editor brings attention to detail and artistry to all of his projects . . . while enjoying his standing desk, of course. Get to know this all-around great guy below. Q: What is your favorite part about working at Bowstring? A: I have really enjoyed taking a leadership role on the post-production team and exploring how to work with creative teams. The camaraderie and support around the office don't hurt, either. ... Q: Why is STORY FIRST important to you? A: I am constantly consuming media and searching for inspiration. I’ve learned that the real story is hidden beneath the surface. There are minuscule details and special moments that I actively look for when digesting footage. I don’t want to just show the prettiest images; I want our work to mean something to someone. Q: What would you be doing if you didn’t work in video production? A: I would definitely be a brewer! I brew beer as a hobby now but it’s a real interest and passion of mine.
