Harvesting Hope

Role: Video Writer/Producer
Client: Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery

Highlights:

  • Achieved the highest-funded Fund-The-Mission to date, over $147,000

  • Assistant Directed virtual wine tasting for at-home attendees featuring Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson

  • Wrote live event script in collaboration with Creative Director.

  • Produced Live In-Person event, hosted by Rena Sarigianopolous

Harvesting Hope is an annual fundraising event benefitting the Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery. The wine tasting focused event had its first hybrid event in October 2021. Part of the challenge of Harvesting Hope as a hybrid event was that in addition to have Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson present at the Live Event, we also created a virtual wine tasting consisting of a previously recorded video of Andrea from her home in Northern California. In addition to producing the Virtual Wine Tasting and Fund-the-Mission videos, I also wrote the Live Event script and was present as a producer tasked with being the point person for the event host, Rena Sarigianopolous.
