We needed a strong video to help us tell our story to our community. The video that 501 Productions created for us is both moving and powerful. It is helping us raise the money we need for a major capital campaign. Dave and his team understand the challenges facing nonprofit organizations today and know how to talk to donors about an important program, cause, or project. We couldn’t be happier with the videos they produced. I would highly recommend them to you. God bless you!

Several years ago we embarked on a large capital campaign project to build a new community center in Buffalo, New York. We met Dave and 501 Productions, through a mutual partner, and quickly became friends. Working on several projects over the span of 3 years we had the opportunity to see their work in several different avenues. The videos 501 Productions created for us helped us raise millions of dollars for our new community center.  They also coordinated the details for the AV portion of two of our annual Gala events, and oversaw the technical aspects of our groundbreaking ceremony, topping out ceremony, and ribbon cutting ceremony. The team at 501 Productions has a strong attention to detail and are committed to excellence in all they do. I am happy to recommend them to you for video and event work for your organization!

I have known Dave for about 5 years now. He and his team of very talented professionals not only get the technical aspects of a stunning video, but they understand the power of storytelling and they do it well. We have used 501 Productions several times to create videos for us that move people to action and tell our story with compassion, empathy, and truth. Dave and his team have proven their commitment to excellence in all they do. We are thrilled with the projects that they have done for us, and we look forward to many more!

I first met Dave and his crew at 501 Productions while they were filming the promotional videos for our capital campaign. The videos were a great addition to our marketing, but I want to use this opportunity to comment on their skill at coordinating and running the AV at our recent Gala. Honestly, it could not have gone smoother. Not a glitch in the entire night. Their work was so seamless you almost didn’t know they were there! The evening was a huge success, thanks in part to a great job by 501 Productions. If you are holding a major event for your organization, I am confident that you will be happy with 501 Production’s work behind the scenes. I would 100% recommend them.

501 Productions not only did a great job on the videos for our Capital Campaign project, they somehow captured the essence of who we are and wove everything together into a compelling video. I am grateful to the team at 501 Productions for their obvious servant’s heart and their commitment to nonprofit organizations by putting their money where their mouth is. Their pricing, their delivery timeline, their follow-up, and their willingness to serve us in additional capacities have proven their character over and over. I would highly recommend 501 Productions to help your organization tell its story well.
