As a reporter and news producer for many years, Tom Atwood now uses a news documentary approach to create compelling videos for businesses and nonprofits. The videos rely heavily on profiles of the people who benefit from the organizations. Their stories lend an emotional impact that is difficult to achieve in printed materials, or even in live presentations.  The appeal for donations primarily comes from those who are served by the agencies, rather than from an executive director or board members.
