We produce one short documentary a month for Union Rescue Mission on Skid Row in Los Angeles. You can see the rest of the short docs we’ve done at www.urm.org/stories. There’s also a podcast set up for all you superfans in the audience.

Beatriz | Stories from Skid Row from Union Rescue Mission on Vimeo.

To help tell the story of this process, we produced a short documentary that follows Beatriz, a young single mother, as she transitions both physically and emotionally into her new home. This is a short in the ongoing “Stories from Skid Row” series that we do for LA’s Union Rescue MIssion.

Music was graciously provided by Eluvium – www.eluvium.net
Tracks: “The Unfinished”, “The End”, and “Taken”

February has had a busy begining for the Chronicle Project Team. Tesfaye was accepted to another film festival last week, making Canada the fourth country the film will be screened in this year! If you haven’t seen the film yet, visit Eden Reforestation Projects and view the “video” section or click here to watch it in the “client” section of the CP site.

The Union Rescue Mission’s winter shelter also provided us with the story of John, a beneficiary and volunteer of the winter shelter in Burbank:

We did a shoot this past weekend at Union Rescue Mission on Skid Row in Los Angeles during their big Thanksgiving feast. They cooked 450 turkeys for the event. It was a pretty cool event. The video will come out next year around Thanksgiving (yes, 12 months from now. a long time.). Here are some pics.
