The Making of "The Founder's Story"
Creating "The Founder's Story" for the New England Innovation Academy was a journey of discovery and collaboration. We embarked on this project with a vision to weave the personal narratives of the academy's founders into the vibrant fabric of the school's daily life. Our process involved deep conversations with Katherine Drago Luellen, Head of Enrollment & Marketing at NEIA, who provided invaluable insights into the school's ethos and the founders' vision.
Overcoming scheduling challenges and logistical complexities, we captured intimate interviews with the founders alongside dynamic on-campus footage. This blend of personal storytelling and visual portrayal of the school's environment was designed to provide an authentic glimpse into the heart of NEIA. The project culminated in a compelling narrative that not only highlights the founders' aspirations and achievements but also resonates with the spirit of innovation that defines the academy.

Lenslight Media's collaboration with NEIA took an exciting turn with the "Slurp Challenge" event for Snap Dragon Foods. Students eagerly volunteered to participate in this unique challenge, where they showcased their most impressive noodle slurps on camera. These fun and lively slurp videos were creatively integrated into Snap Dragon's marketing campaign, highlighting the brand's high-end packaged ramen and pho noodle products.
