The Fast Forward Story
I've been working with Fast Forward (FFWD) since 2018. I first met them through YouTube’s Director onsite program, where we made a short 30 second ad about their mentorship program and have continued to work together to tell impactful stories that help support their nonprofits.
Since then I’ve helped them produce and edit a range of videos, but the biggest project is their yearly cohort mini-documentaries and virtual Demo Day. These 1-minute pieces tell story of those who the non-profits benefit and the impact they have made. I film some material locally and source videographers from around the world to help record stories that help people understand the issues these nonprofits address. These videos create a personal connection to the issue and translate how their technology application can support the cause.
We've assisted over 100 nonprofits raise $1B in follow-on funding, and have impacted 262 million people.
During the pandemic, we produced a virtual demo day video, using videos recorded remotely alongside well filmed elements while sheltering-in-place.

I’m beyond grateful to work with organizations that align with my values to leverage technology for a better world. I love working with organizations who hold these ethics and values at the forefront of their decision making processes and am always on the lookout for new opportunities like this!
