Complacent Sizzle Reel Ready to View!
The wait is over…to view the John Petropoulos Memorial Fund’s “Complacent” sizzle reel!
As you may recall, the film shoot for the “Complacent” sizzle reel (promo video) took place in Calgary, AB in late Feb/early March. It was a resounding success. And the result of all that effort?
Whoa…the completed video is outstanding!!
A huge heartfelt thank you to the talented production team at Joe Media Group, including – but not limited to – Matt Gillespie, Jack Chapman (director), Sam Coombs (DOP), Mike Schmidt (editor) & Timothonius Alai (original music).
Maryanne Pope, Matt Gillespie & Sheila Rae are the executive producers on the project.
If this is what the sizzle reel looks like, can you imagine how powerful & impactful the actual documentary series will be?!
Quick snapshot about the “Complacent” series:
1000 Canadians a year die because of their job. Thousands more workers suffer from life-altering injuries or illnesses. The “Complacent” documentary series sets out to understand WHY? Why do these preventable incidents keep happening and what is being done (and not done) to stop future tragedies from happening?
This short sizzle reel is a promotional tool for the development of the “Complacent” documentary series.
So without further ado…
Here is link to view the sizzle reel on the JPMF YouTube channel.
Please like and/or share the video on YouTube and/or your own social media platforms!
Here are just a few beautiful images from the sizzle reel:
Next steps for the “Complacent” project: we (the development team) use the sizzle reel as a tool for pitching the “Complacent” documentary series to potential broadcasters, streamers & funders. Stay tuned!
About the JPMF
Calgary Police Const. John Petropoulos died on Sept 29th, 2000. John was investigating a break and enter complaint when he stepped through a false ceiling, fell nine feet into the lunchroom below and died of a brain injury. There was no safety railing to warn him of the danger; the complaint turned out to be a false alarm. He was 32.
The John Petropoulos Memorial Fund was started shortly after John’s death by members of his recruit class. The JPMF is a Canadian charity that raises public awareness about workplace safety issues and educates people about why & how to ensure their workplaces and the roads are safer for everyone, including emergency responders.
