Walker Film Production

Portland, Maine

Walker is a family name.

It’s also a credo. Following passion is what got us where we are today. We've told a lot of stories. Made a lot of images. Helped a lot of people.

We believe in more than delivering content. Content for its own sake is easy. What counts in our shop is clarity of process. Consistency. Invention. Focus.

Bob Dylan said he who’s not busy being born is busy dying.

At Walker, our business is being born.

Community Doula Birth Program

June 04, 2015  /  Patrick Walker Russell

Don't know what a doula is?  That's okay.  Neither did I when a group of them contacted me a couple of months ago about a video project.  Since then it has been fascinating getting to know them, learning about their work, and helping with their amazing mission.

Julie, Rebecca, Sunshine, Melissa, and Amanda are starting a nonprofit to help connect low-income pregnant women with doulas in training.  They needed a video for their Indiegogo campaign and they hired WALKER Film to produce it.

In this six minute video we were able to build an emotional connection with the viewer that has currently helped the doulas raise $6,255.  They have 21 days left to reach their $10,000 goal.

So, what is a doula?  You'll have to watch and find out!
