St. Mary Royal Oak Catholic School – Legacy Fund Film

To celebrate 100 years of Catholic education and launch a new fundraising initiative, St. Mary Catholic School in Royal Oak approached us to create a film that would honor its rich legacy and inspire future giving. We worked closely with school leadership to craft a short documentary-style piece that captured the enduring spirit of the school community through interviews, archival materials, and cinematic visuals.

The resulting video debuted at the school’s centennial gala and became the centerpiece of their Legacy Fund campaign. With a tone that balanced reverence and hope, it resonated deeply with alumni, families, and donors alike.
