Our Work With CBM 
We have been really fortunate to work with CBM (Christian Blind Mission) over the last ten years on a wide range of video projects. 
 
It has been amazing to be apart of such a worthwhile charity and we have really enjoyed seeing the progress, through our 
 
work, of how they are helping so many people worldwide. 
 
We look forward to continuing to provide my video services to CBM for the next ten years and beyond.

Joy 
11 year old Joy from Kenya in East Africa loves stories and drawing pictures. But because she has very poor eyesight, school is a real struggle. 
 
Creative Trunk created a film about Joy to be used as part of worship resources for CBM. We sourced a warm caring male voiceover and inspirational background music. 
 
The target audience was churchgoers of 45-75 year olds. 
 
It would primarily be shown in church, projected onto a screen or wall, so subtitles and captions needed to be especially large and clear. 
 
 
 
 
"Creative Trunk are very talented and professional group, they work from the heart and never allow second best in their video editing. 
 
They listened carefully to our ideas and expressed their own in equal measure. They are very detailed and were prepared to invest time and thought into getting the piece absolutely right for us."

Milly 
14 year-old Milly is a bright, playful and hard-working young girl who dreams of becoming a nurse. But when she started losing her sight to Cataracts, her dreams were replaced by fear of the future. 
 
We made a 4-part video showing Milly’s journey from blindness to having her cataracts operation. It was amazing to see her reaction when the bandages were taken off and how CBM helped Milly restore her sight.
