Project: Rage For Justice Awards
Consumer Watchdog hosts a semi-annual formal dinner at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, the Rage For Justice Awards, named for the biography of California lawmaker Philip Burton, one of the most productive progressive legislators of his time. The evening features speeches and tributes to accomplished attorneys, civic leaders, and consumer advocates.
One of my most important responsibilities as Creative Director has been to produce and edit the video portion of the event. The Rage For Justice is a major fundraising event for Consumer Watchdog, so the presentations are important to both raise awareness about our myriad of activities while inspiring our guests to be proud of the prolific organization they have helped support. These are screened on a million-dollar A/V system at the Beverly Wilshire, so technical specifications are imperative.
