Takeda Entertainment Produces Documentaries for Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals

This month, we finish up our cross continental field shoots for a series of documentaries for the oncology division of Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals. Our teams have been shooting for several months on both coasts where we’ve been following two patients living life fully. These films will be shown at an upcoming meeting.

“This is true documentary filming,” said director Scott Takeda. “Our crews have been trying to be as non-intrusive as possible, so we can film life-moments as they happen. We’ve captured some beautiful moments, and I can’t wait to see how this pieces together in the writing process.”

The creative team for this project includes our agency friends at BI Worldwide in Indianapolis: Damon Schoening (executive producer) and MathaEllen Talyor and Laura Cohen (production managers). Tom Nusbaum is creative director/writer; Takeda and Lori Allred direct; Ben McCoy and Chad Zellmer are the cinematographers; Jason Pawlak and Michael Velasco handle field audio; Brock Sherman is art director; Brandon Russell is editor; Matthew Head composes the original music; and Zlatko Makic is our post audio specialist.
