Sometimes after having worked together for so long you start to look like each other.
Shooting a quick video cameo with Captain Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger
Posted by TheBigPicture in Interviews on April 5th, 2011
Sometimes it’s not easy to get people to work on video production on Sundays but when one of your clients is married to Captain Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger and you need a favor for a celebrity cameo all of us were first in line to volunteer.
Many thanks to Captain Sully, who you may know as the hero that safely landed US Airways flight 1549 into the Hudson River in 2009. We found him to be a very kind and generous man who volunteered part of his Sunday to do a favor for The Big Picture.
Wells Fargo Center for the Arts – Art of Dessert Fundraiser
Posted by TheBigPicture in Philanthropic, Uncategorized on March 8th, 2011
As proud sponsors of the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, we were honored to attend the Gala Fundraising Event “The Art of Dessert” last Saturday, where over 300 people gathered to enjoy a gourmet dinner, eat scrumptious desserts, and bid in a silent and live auction that raised $200,000 for education in the arts!
The Wells Fargo Center for the Arts has live events the enrich the community with comedy, theatre, dance, music and so much more. Their arts education program provides workshops, courses and programs directly into the schools in Sonoma County teaching writing, visual arts, music history and culture. This life enriching culture and art education curriculum would otherwise not reach the children in the schools.
We are passionate about this program and produced the following video with Rita Moreno for the event to show some of the fantastic things that the Wells Fargo center provides to the community. We would like to thank Rita Moreno for her time and contribution to our community.

It’s no secret that we support the arts, community programs, and other philanthropic endeavors. We are privileged to be able to do so and believe that anyone that has the opportunity to get involved in their community should do so.
We are currently proud sponsors of the Wells Fargo Center Arts in Santa Rosa, a fantastic non-profit organization with it’s own venue that has really great events. It is one of the top-ranked performance centers in California where one can see music, theater, dance, comedy and spoken word performances year round.
You really need to take a look at their upcoming calendar to see the scope of events that that are going on in the near future: Santa Rosa Symphony, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Moscow Ballet’s nutcracker, Natalie Cole, Midsummer Night’s Dream, Kathy Griffin and countless plays and concerts.
We are working on an outreach video for them which we hope to share with you soon. Here are some behind the scenes photos of us shooting back stage at Rob Schneider’s comedy night.
