I produced, directed, conducted interviews, and edited this video for the ASPCA. This video tells the story of Coconut, a dog rescued from a puppy mill in Michigan, that due to under-socialization, was too traumatized to be adoptable. For that reason Coconut was sent to The ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center where he underwent a massive transformation. The video was edited together from found footage of Coconut’s recovery that was filmed by the ASPCA behavior staff. The behavior staff films many of these animal evaluations for research and documentation purposes. This video has been viewed times on YouTube and was adapted into a direct response television commercial for the ASPCA starring Deborah Norville of Inside Edition.

I produced, filmed, directed (interview), and was the assistant editor for this video for the ASPCA. The concept for this commercial came from another video that I produced, directed, and edited. For the original video, I conducted an interview with the President and CEO of the ASPCA, Matt Bershadker. We spoke about his experience at the 3-State Dog Fighting Raid (Texas, Missouri, and Kansas). Where the ASPCA rescued nearly 100 dogs. For that video, I used Matt’s first-hand account to give viewers a glimpse into the cruel world of dog fighting. With his candid description of the raid scene, I hoped to show the commitment and passion the ASPCA has to end animal fighting. You can see the original video here.
