We drove down to Burien to shoot four short films for the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Academy. The four films are focused on the SAFE CALL NOW program. Safe Call Now is a non-profit that tries to help prevent suicide or substance abuse among public safety employees. You can learn more about Safe Call Now atwww.safecallnow.org We shot a great introduction by nationally recognized expert Gordon Graham, then used real life police officers, fire fighters, and EMTS in the scripted video production. I was particularly impressed with this Gordon Graham. I call him “this” Gordon Graham because I have known the “other” Gordon Graham for over 20 years. You can learn more about this Gordon Graham atwww.gordongraham.com

Here are some pictures of the volunteers who helped with our video production.

Thank you so much to the great volunteers who helped out with the production of these four videos. They came in during their day off. We are very grateful for their excellent commitment to helping others.
