St. Vincent de Paul: Jackson from Silver Moon Films on Vimeo.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Jackson is a non-profit Christian organization that has been serving the economically disadvantaged for over 50 years. Through home visits, providing shelter, food assistance, employment services, thrift stores and outreach programs, St. Vincent de Paul provides compassion and support to individuals in need, reguardless of race, origin, religion or gender.

A brief, intense, look into the day to day runnings of a local organization that gives to those in need and asking nothing in return. This video peels back the drapes and views how the organization runs as a whole, receives and stores food while distributing it, as well as running multiple low cost thrift stores that provide financial backing in order to keep their selfless operation running.

District 7 from Silver Moon Films on Vimeo.

A one-night music/art event showcasing artists (illustrators/painters/graffiti writers/designers) and Detroit DJs in a venue that is sure to blow your mind. Held in the historic Art 634 near the Armory, this event captured the essence of artistry emerging from the past and into the present. The event was a pure translation of the industrial history of Jackson, MI (where the show was held) and honors the perseverance, style and greatness that is the soul and spirit of street art.

We were able to not only attend the event, but watch as it was set up and put together. The people behind this had a vision and made sure that it was a success. Leading the charge was Amanda Brackél, of AFOAF Design. She came to Jackson and saw the void of need for the arts and decided to make it her mission to fill it. The night was a huge win for the arts, and hundreds of people came out from all around Michigan and other states to view some very real pieces by some extremely talented artists.
