Moving Stories

Farm Plan

Like humor, telling a Moving Story takes a deft touch for it to be truly effective and not contrived or maudlin.

It must touch the heart and the soul. It must be a great story. It must be genuine. When it works - it really works.

A brief video module (part of a larger consumer education project) to highlight the essence of a credit card especially designed for rural families and businesses tied to agriculture.

This audience truly required the piece to be very authentic and credible.

   

In My Life

One year before the beginning of Ford's Centennial, there was a request for a "foreshadowing" film to play at the North American Auto Show Press Days prior to several new product reveals.

With little time and almost no budget this is the result (press the play button).

It brought Bill Ford to tears - and received more duplication requests than any other Ford video in memory.

   

EMMY AWARD WINNING PLP Documentary: A Passing of the Torch

The University of Michigan commissioned Paul Long Productions to produce an hour-long documentary looking back at the incredible circumstances, coincidences and happenings that marked the first student movement of the 60's and the formation of the Peace Corps.

It started with a short, impromptu speech by candidate John F. Kennedy to 10,000 University of Michigan students at 2:00 in the morning - a speech that challenged the students to pursue more than a career and to serve their country and the world.

Included in the documentary: Bill Moyers, Theodore Sorensen, Harris Wofford, Tom Hayden and the people who were there and made it all happen.
