We think it is important to share videos on our blog that are not necessarily weddings.  Sure you are reading this because you are searching for that perfect wedding filmmaker for your wedding.  And yes, we have John Deaver Films for the “other” videos in our lives, but sometimes it is about more.  We all have so much to be thankful for. 

Working with Safe Step Walk-In Tub Company has been a constant reminder how fortunate that we have our health and abilities.  But not everybody is so lucky.  Through their Safe Step Cares Program, John jets around North America telling the story of individuals that are given a specialty tub and how it has changed their life.  Take a listen on how this lady lost her husband and step-daughter (tragically) and yet still puts one foot in front of the other every day.  And now with her Safe Step tub, she has found her mobility once again. What are you thankful for?

Imagine being 14 years old and not able to bathe yourself without your mom's help?  Sophia has cerebral palsy but doesn't let that stop her from living her life as a normal teenager.  She is a rockstar!

John Deaver Films was honored to be able to fly to Chicago to document when Safe Step Walk-in Tub Co gave Sophia a brand new speciality tub that has greatly helped her independence.  To read more about her story, click here.  

We enjoy creating these corporate videos. As a videographer, it is really cool to be able to tell this family's story as their lives are changing for the better.

A couple of weeks ago we received a call from someone needing to do a short video promoting a donation of a super nice speciality tub from Safe Step Walk-In Tub Co. to a young girl that really needed it. 

I'm happy to say that because of it, not only did Anna Grace get a tub that she so desperately needed, but I have now established a great relationship with the PR guy (thus getting to do more of these corporate video promos!) This is the kind of thing that I really want to do more of.

How can you not fall in love with Anna Grace?  Love this company and their Safe Step Cares program! To read more about Anna Grace's story, click here. 

We here at Main Street Productions LOVE weddings.  It is what we have made a living on for many years now.  We had a few corporate clients through the years, but it was never our main focus.  

When it came time for John's mid-life crisis, not only did he buy his infamous Banana Republic purple shirt and green glasses, but he also really wanted to put his name on something.  We argued for a few years about a complete renaming and re-branding of MSP, but in the end decided to just have him branch off and tell a different kind of story.  

Of course he is NOT leaving MSP and is very much a part of day to day operations, but he is pursuing other types of jobs under John Deaver Films. 

I do plan on posting his work here on this blog as well as his blog on JDF so check back often! Check out his website on johndeaverfilms.com.
