Event Documentation

Documenting Community Through Film

Challenge
The Grind Society wanted to capture the energy, discipline, and community spirit of its annual 5K race in Jersey City. The goal was to move beyond static photos and create a dynamic story that reflected the event’s culture from start to finish.

Approach
As videographer, I filmed the race in full—documenting runners, volunteers, and the community moments that defined the day. I then edited the footage into a documentary-style film, blending motion, sound, and narrative pacing to showcase both the athletic challenge and the human connections behind the event.

Impact

• Delivered a polished documentary-style race recap

• Captured the authentic culture and values of Grind Society

• Produced a shareable visual asset for community building and brand storytelling

Visual Assets: Embedded video, still shots, behind-the-scenes captures.
