The Long Shift

A vérité campaign film and donor letters that made year-end giving feel like the night shift it funds.

The goal

Year-end giving had flattened for three years running. Donors needed to feel what their money keeps running at 3 a.m. — not read another statistic.

What I made

A six-minute film following one overnight nurse across two shifts, a three-letter donor sequence in the same voice, and a single-scroll landing page: the film, one paragraph, one button.

What happened

The campaign beat the prior year within two weeks, and a regional news affiliate picked up the film — the foundation’s cheapest media buy ever.
