We were blessed with the opportunity to help the Hanna Boys Center of Sonoma spread their proven approach to helping at-risk teens. Everyone who touched this project echoed the same sentiment: man, it’s nice to work on something that is truly making a difference. Thanks to all involved.

Our web video for the Hanna Boys Center tells the true story of a Hanna student who overcame enormous obstacles to become a successful, productive adult, thanks to the Hanna Boys Center.

Our film shows how Hanna’s unique approach to caring for troubled kids really works. Hanna doesn’t ask, “what’s wrong with this kid?” They ask, “what happened to this kid?” And how the committed staff handles the kids from that pivotal philosophical belief is why the Hanna Way is worth spreading. We hope our film helps to do just that.

Cinematographer, Cliff Traiman, generously provided his clever camera work to create a seamless journey, falling at first into a future of despair, but thanks to Hanna, changes direction and soars toward hope. Special thanks to Beast editorial who refused payment for their brilliant post. That’s giving back, man.
