Boulder Housing Partners Foundation does the work of looking beyond providing working class families and seniors with opportunities to access exceedingly rare affordable housing in Boulder. By offering programs in the arts, hosting block parties and educational events, creating intergenerational opportunities for gathering, exploring nearby open spaces, and generally allowing a level of stability otherwise difficult for working people to obtain in an exceptionally expensive area, the foundation builds a thriving community that adds vibrance and heart to neighborhoods across the city.

Videographer Notes: This local non-profit video production was filmed at two locations in Boulder, Colorado. Principal photography included cinema vérité, aerial cinematography and b-roll, as well as a wide variety of interview setups ranging from extremely minimal on the fly using only natural light to more well-lit with Aputure lighting, diffusion, modifiers, grip, etc. Special thanks to the residents of Boulder Housing Partners properties who graciously shared their time and personalities on camera with us. This was a fun total team effort between on-camera community and staff members, the dedicated staff of the Boulder Housing Partners Foundation non-profit, and our small video production crew which included intern Maddy Reynolds during the summer of 2024.
