This documentary-style film was created for peopleCare Communities, a long-time client and a family-owned organization dedicated to building exceptional long-term care and retirement communities across Ontario. Their commitment to compassionate, person-centered care is evident in everything they do, and this project was a powerful example of that.

Filmed over the course of 1.5 years across multiple visits, this was a large-scale documentary filmmaking project focused on the implementation of the Butterfly Model within the Juniper specialized care home area for residents with dementia at peopleCare Oakcrossing LTC in London, Ontario. The Butterfly Model is an emotion-based approach to dementia care that prioritizes connection, environment, and overall well-being, while also transforming how staff engage with residents and with each other. Spending time with the residents and team throughout this journey was incredibly moving, and witnessing the transformation within the space was truly remarkable.

This film was created to thoughtfully document that evolution and share the impact of these changes through professional commercial videography and storytelling. Projects like this highlight the power of documentary video to communicate meaningful change, capture human connection, and bring important initiatives to life.
