Problem
Richland Library knew their curriculum had potential, but their initial videos weren't reaching the right audience or inspiring action.
Solution
Goodsides' expertise in video production resulted in a series of high-quality videos, ranging in length, that successfully captured the essence of the Let's Talk Race project and its important mission.

The Library aimed to expand the reach of their important "Let's Talk Race" initiative beyond their immediate community. While they had hosted successful in-person events, they sought to elevate their digital presence. Investing in high-quality video would allow them to share the powerful conversations happening within their library with a wider audience and amplify their message.

  • Expanded Reach: The final videos formed the centerpiece of Richland Library's revamped website around their initiative. This made their message accessible to a broader audience.
  • Ongoing Impact: The videos continue to be used as an educational tool by the library, driving ongoing engagement and awareness of their work combating racial inequity.

Key Takeaway: Richland Library's investment in video storytelling enabled them to amplify their crucial "Let's Talk Race" campaign and meaningfully extend their impact.
