Bertelsmann Foundation
Awareness Videos
The Bertelsmann Foundation is an independent, nonprofit think tank in Washington, DC dedicated to a strong and lasting transatlantic relationship. When they contacted us, they wanted to find a way to tell their story and express the urgency of their mission in a short explainer video. They also wanted to find a way to highlight their impressive documentary catalogue.
Coasting wrote and edited a trailer for their documentaries, leaning only on their previously shot footage and soundbites from the incredible stories they had captured. We also created a company promo outlining their areas of interest and action, and bringing awareness to the important work they do to engage both sides of the Atlantic.

Fundraising & Branding Tools
Christine Nyirahabimana started a bakery in Rwanda hiring 10 HIV positive single mothers as her employees. The business was an immediate success and after six months all employees were able to double their monthly incomes. But the business faces many challenges, among them fires, drought, and most devastating, three employees dying from AIDS.
Our documentary “Zaza Rising” was nominated in 9 film festivals worldwide and was featured by the ONE campaign, Women’s Voices Now, and UVA Today, among other media outlets.
​
The film gained recognition at the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise, which hosted two events at Columbia Business School, one featuring the Permanent Representative to Rwanda’s UN Mission, Hon. Valentine Rugwabiza. As a result, the pro-bono consulting group Pangea visited Zaza to support Christine in developing a long-term marketing strategy and business plan.
