After a job goes wrong, Frank is called to clean up a mess he didn’t make. Saint Frank is a short film about best friends caught in a lose-lose situation.

This is the story about how that story was made.

In this free-flowing conversation, Executive Producer Joseph Smallwood of Bugle and Writer and Director David Altrogge of Vinegar Hill share their takes on why passion projects and creative side hustles matter, how business enables art, and their advice for anyone thinking about making their own films.

We’ve been honored to partner with The ALS Association during the height of the global pandemic to produce We Can’t Wait, an integrated digital campaign, to raise awareness of this rare disease during one of the rarest moments in our history.

To date, our campaign has earned over 5.3 million media impressions, nearly 2 million video views, a 205% increase in conversations, an 81% lift in new donors, and a renewed optimism that one day we can live in a world free of ALS.
