WHAT WE DO
DOCUMENTARY FILM:
Our experience ranges from documentary digital series to full-length narrative features.
ALL ARTS/PBS recently commissioned Triple Birch Media to produce the documentary MATTHEW WHITAKER: ABOUT TOMORROW and the 8-part digital series ALVIN AILEY NEW DIRECTIONS. Both programs were honored with NY Emmy Nominations and are streaming free on allarts.org.
VIRTUAL events:
Triple Birch Media produces compelling, entertaining, profitable virtual events for leading organizations. Recent projects include four programs for THE BREAST CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION which raised over $21 million; the launch of the WELL BEINGS Youth Mental Health Campaign from WETA/PBS; GILDA’S CLUB 25TH ANNIVERSARY GALA; SERVICES OF REMEMBRANCE for Overlook Medical Center; musical openers for HLTH VRTL 2020; and WBGO’s Livestream Event CELEBRATING WOMEN OF INFLUENCE. These moving events featured high-profile talent, extraordinary musical numbers, inspiring storytelling, elegant visuals, and first-class production values.
VIDEO FOR LIVE EVENTS:
Triple Birch Media has produced videos for many live events, including four pieces for the recent ART BALL for THE NEWARK MUSEUM OF ART, and created the environmental and promotional video for the museum’s popular ATELLIER TO RUNWAY exhibition. We’ve also recently produced videos for several major fundraising events for RED DOOR COMMUNITY. We are happy to work with your AV team or to bring in the necessary gear and crew, and we are very experienced at broadcast quality mult-camera performance captures.
live eventS:
We create spellbinding live events —galas, festivals, concerts, memorials, multi-camera broadcasts, and conferences. We have produced RED DOOR COMMUNITY’S BENEFIT GALA (raising over $1 million); a surprise concert from JON BON JOVI AND THE KINGS OF SUBURBIA at the Park Theater in Las Vegas for Deloitte’s PPMD Conference; Broadway musical revues at private residences in NYC and Florida; THE 24 HOUR MUSICALS ON BROADWAY; and have been subcontracted by major event companies including Eighth Sea (Deloitte PPMD), iDEKO Productions, The Vibe Agency, and Van Wyck & Van Wyck.
