Ben McElroy and his crew at McElroy films are an amazing group to work with. They blend the highest standard of professionalism with an easy going and fun approach to making short videos. In public health, sometimes our messages can become dry.
Working with Ben and Co. enabled us to spice up the topics at hand, without being irreverent or insincere in our presentation. When shooting a video designed to promote a health maintenance website, a critical social issue became a major national news story: gay bullying and suicides among LGBT youth. With the help of Ben, we were able to piggyback a second video shoot onto our scheduled one. The subsequent video: “Fenway Health Presents: It Will Get Better” ended up being much more significant for us than the original short. Ben and his colleagues were amazingly accommodating and flexible. They also infused an easy flowing flair into both of the projects we made together. McElroy Films meets the client where they are at—for us, we had a fairly high amount of creative input into one project. The crew took what we wanted to do and made it a reality. Conversely, when faced with making up something from scratch in a single day, Ben and co. took the reigns and directed us towards a fantastic final product. Ben also made the secondary things—titles, music, and especially editing look easy.
McElroy Films are truly creative and truly facilitative. I strongly endorse them and intend to work with them again soon.

National Heritage Academies
McElroy Films has been on location all this week to shoot with the National Heritage Academies. We we’re in downtown Boston at the Match Charter School next to BU filming on-location b-roll and teacher student discussions. Focusing around teacher training. The Match School is one of the best Boston Charter Schools.
The National Heritage Academies was Founded on the four pillars of academic excellence, moral focus, parental partnership and student responsibility, NHA’s first school, Excel Charter Academy, opened its doors to 174 students in September, 1995. Today, with these pillars now firmly established, NHA is fortunate to partner with school boards at 61 schools across Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, New York, North Carolina and Ohio that serve more than 38,000 children and families.
The Julia Ruth House
We had an exciting shoot with the Julia Ruth House. Which is an adult day care home that specializes in assisting elderly folks with their daily activities. We were on-location in Westwood for a day long shoot interviews staff and guests. We’re producing and excited promo video for their website.
The Julia Ruth House was founded by Julia and Herbert Irvine in memory of their parents, Thomas and Ruth Irvine and Charles and Julia O’Malia. With help from their family, Julia and Herb assisted their parents in overcoming many of the obstacles they faced during their senior years. Through this experience, the Irvine’s understood the need for a home-based day care center for adults who are in need of some daily support, but who do not require a nursing home. Born of this realization, The Julia Ruth House is the first home-based Adult Day Care Center in a residential setting in Massachusetts. McElroy Films highly recommends The Julia Ruth House. This is a great place to have your loved ones cared for.
