“Investors need to know the impact we have on a personal level.”

Client: Intermex International Money Exchange

Location: Florida & Guatemala

This ten minute movie was built for investors. It ended up generating not just money, but plenty of tears.

When Intermex told me that their investor pitch deck needed something "heartfelt," I knew immediately that a real-world documentary was the way to go. But they only had three weeks until the big meeting.

So a small crew of us set off on an international whirlwind trip of cinematic proportions.

We traveled all across the state of Florida, capturing interviews and scenes in orange groves, food trucks, markets, and more. To tell the stories of real people who actually use Intermex to send funds home to their loved ones. But that was, quite literally, only half the story.

So we hopped on a flight to Guatemala and captured the stories of the folks who receive the funds, and told the story of how the money truly helps them every single day.

The final movie is a blend of statistics (like the average immigrant worker sends home approximately 70% of their paycheck every week), and heartfelt moments (like "without these payments my business wouldn't survive here in Guatemala").

It's not every day that I get the opportunity to tell a story that has this much impact. So thank you Intermex!
