Today, we break down one of our favorite vocations videos, completed for the Archdiocese of Chicago back in 2021. As we speak with director Cody Hilliard, we find out what decisions went into the pre-production process, and whether the initial concept worked or didn't. Then, in the second half of the episode, we receive a prompt by which we construct (in 30 minutes) a video concept on how to fundraise for restoration efforts on St. Patrick's Cathedral, in New York City. Let's jump right in!

WHO THEY ARE

Branden Stanley is VP of Development at Spirit Juice Studios with nearly 7 years at the company, and many more outside it. Branden's passion revolves around creating lasting beauty, something he's able to achieve with the talented group at Spirit Juice. While Branden did attend film school, he credits most of his knowledge and experience to the school of hard knocks.

Rob Kaczmark is the founder of Spirit Juice Studios, and a leader in Catholic Media since the company's inception back in 2007. While Rob still has an incredible edge on filmmaking itself, his attention has pivoted more toward building the team and company that can execute his vision. Though he started an incredibly successful film company, Rob is among many who did not attend film school. 

Daniel Gebert is the Creative Director at Spirit Juice Studios, with a unique pulse on the company's creative vision. While Daniel is among those who did not complete film school training, his real-world experience and incredible technical know-how keep Spirit Juice on the cutting edge of film production.

Cody Hilliard is a Creative Lead at Spirit Juice Studios, overseeing projects from initial conception to completion with a trained eye and a unique passion for storytelling. While others in the group did not, Cody's training began in film school.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
