The guys from Kala Projects are amazing! When we told them the story about this eight year old boy with autism who can identify our windchimes just by hearing them play, they were inspired. By the time they arrived to film, they had a clear vision of what they wanted to do and not only did all the clips they took look great (including the ones that I thought had no chance of looking good on camera - shows you what I know!), but they all worked together to support the story. The result was a video that was better than we could have dreamed.
What's more, the "Kala Krew" as I came to call them, were polite, were able to communicate their vision and what was needed to make that happen, and were just all around nice guys. They involved Tyler in the film-making process, making him more relaxed with an unusual situation. This resulted in some great clips of Tyler, both at our offices, at the hotel and elsewhere. Some of the filming took place in my home, and the Kala Krew became interior decorators as they rearranged the furniture for the best effect. Much to my surprise, before they left, the Kala Krew had put everything back where it belonged and I had very little clean up to do. (Thanks guys!)
Can't wait to do another project with them!
The Kala group is a wonderful organization that made our vision and dream of telling an incredible story, a reality. Kala's great work resulted in a video that documents an extraordinary boy with autism named Tyler. The combination of their passion and skills resulted in a beautiful and compelling piece of work.
Bravo to all of them!
I had the opportunity to volunteer at Kala Project for a year, and during this time I was able to work with a great group of people. They taught me so many things, from videography to life lessons that I will use for the rest of my business career. The amount of passion and love the Kala Project team has for their mission as well as clients, is what kept me coming back. They are a very compassionate group of people and were great to work with, as they provided me with a professional yet fun loving work environment. Thanks for everything!
The folks at The Kala Project made a wonderful commitment to our mission and the community we serve. They treated everyone very respectfully, and were able to almost immediately pick up on the nuances of our story and how to tell it. We were blown away by the final product, impressed by their professionalism, and will always be grateful for their passion.
I am very thankful to have had had an experience with the Kala Project team - they are a fantastic group who not only do fantastic video work with great vision, but who are also caring and senstive. You can immediately tell these guys love their jobs and are excited to work with each and every client.
I loved working with the Kala Project! They are a group of some of the most passionate and talented people. I walked into their office with a fuzzy, jumbled idea of a story that I thought needed to be shared and soon after was able to view this story, more beautifully crafted and expressed than I could have ever imagined. They don’t simply film people, they completely engage in their story. In the words of a refugee client, “they made me feel like a movie star, they made me feel so special.” It is truly inspiring to see a group of people working so fervently to bring goodness and truth to light.
I loved working with the Kala Project because they saw the value in the story that I wanted them to be able to tell, and they worked incredibly hard to find the right way to truthfully tell a story that is often easily misinterpreted. They are masterful story-tellers and amazing videographers, and strive to use both of these skills to discover the value in people.
