Unseen Connection is a 10-minute brand documentary we produced, shot and edited in Austin, Texas for Papa, the companion-care company that pairs older adults and families with “Papa Pals” for companionship and everyday help.
The story
Papa member Stephen, who is visually impaired, shares how his Papa Pal Marcel, a retired veteran, helps him overcome loneliness and isolation. Rather than explain Papa's service, the film lets Stephen and Marcel tell their story in their own words.

The film is featured on Papa's resource library and was selected for screenings at the two events below.
