UCPD: Heroes Arise

UCPD: Where Heroes Arise (Recruitment Commercial)

For decades, the UCLA Police Department has been has been a leader in providing progressive law enforcement services to a culturally diverse urban campus and its surrounding community. This recruitment commercial shows the delicate balance between both the strong and softer arms of the law and provides an holistic overview of the duties, responsibilities and culture of the department. Shot over a period of six months, we got to witness firsthand the professionalism of every officer shown and how each and every one of them epitomized the department’s values of Accountability, Respect, Integrity, Service, and Excellence.

We were honored to make this recruitment commercial come to life with UCPD in conjunction with our own short film, Boot. It was an amazing experience getting to film with the real deal and showcase what a day in the life of a UCPD officer is like.

Behind the Scenes

El Segundo Police Department: Change Everything

We all want positive change for our community, but why not be the change you want to be? That was our mission statement when coming up with this recruitment spot for the El Segundo Police Department. We see our hero journey from a scared, powerless victim to that of a skilled, confident, and fearless hero who helps others in need. 

Shot in first person point of view, we wanted the commercial to be short, sweet, but also completely immersive too.
