WHAT WE DID
We filmed Ben and his family at their house for a half-day shoot. Ben’s mom told us their emotional story. Then we interviewed Ben and had him tell us about his gift from Make-A-Wish. We also filmed Ben as he spent time doing some of the things he loves.
The most exciting part was seeing his new pool that he received for his wish. We then filmed Ben and his family. They went on a nice walk and played with their dog. Then Ben showed us his skills on the Smash Brothers video game for Nintendo Switch.
We used our visuals along with images and videos from the family to help tell his story. Ben is a strong young man and has endured a lot throughout his treatment. It was a pleasure to meet him and his family and get to spend the day with them.
