Project Title:

Louis Dooley: A Story of Redemption

‘Life Revealed Youth Series’

Telly Award Winning Film

Client: Alpha USA

Challenge:
Alpha USA set out to create a powerful, youth-focused video series that would explore real stories of transformation through faith—told with honesty, vulnerability, and cinematic quality. Each episode needed to resonate with young people navigating identity, purpose, and belief.

Our Approach:
As part of Life Revealed, a four-part series filmed across four different cities, we had the honor of capturing Louis Dooley’s remarkable story in Chicago. Once sentenced to life in prison, Louis experienced a radical transformation after encountering Jesus behind bars. Through a simple, intimate interview setup and thoughtful visual storytelling, we allowed his voice—and his journey of redemption—to take center stage. The film explores the power of forgiveness, second chances, and the unshakable hope found in faith.

Services Provided:

• Story and interview development

• Location scouting and on-site production in Chicago

• Cinematography and lighting

• Post-production, editing, color and audio mixing

Outcome:
Premiered by Alpha USA as Episode 3 in the Life Revealed series, Louis’s story has since reached audiences nationwide through Alpha’s digital platforms and teaching curriculum—used by churches, youth leaders, and schools to spark meaningful conversations about faith and transformation.
