When BaptistCare was founded, its purpose was to provide a home – in the truest sense of the word – for the most vulnerable people in our community. Seventy-five years on, BaptistCare’s goal with its storytelling project was to affirm that its mission has not changed.
In an organisation where 3800 staff create heartwarming stories every day, our challenge was to represent their stories in just six 5-minute films. Our reward was to share them with their community.
A milestone that was celebrated with films, an installation and a book.
The installation design came together smoothly. When we initiated the design process, we already had a deep understanding of their story and were familiar with all the available archival content. The design of the walls and office pieces was completed and approved in no time.
This film series was captured in various BaptistCare facilities across New South Wales to celebrate the wonderful work of the extremely caring staff. Perhaps the toughest part of the process was figuring out who to interview from the very long list of carers! From there, Mark and I got to the heart of the stories before Mark hit the road and did his magic behind the camera, then it did it again in the editing suite.
