It has been far too many times all across America. People will just abandon their pets, usually dogs, when a natural disaster hits. They may leave them tied up outside or locked in a cage or simply just let them run around freely, scared and alone. Well this has happened too many times and now it…

It's been a while since I have posted on this page but this post really speaks to my heart. I knew Hannah's parents before they knew each other. I witnessed a beautiful young love take root and was honored to be the Maid of Honor at their wedding. About a year later, Hannah was born, their first born (and only daughter) of four children! So, I've watched this beautiful girl grow up into an amazing young woman who met an amazing young man/proud marine Levi, married him in September 2014 and they are living happily ever after with their own baby girl! Here is a snapshot of them. Their wedding to be posted shortly! Congratulations Hannah and Levi and to your parents Debbie and Paul Brazil!

Over four years ago, I produced this personal project about Mark Battelle, a gentleman and street musician I met on the boardwalk in New Orleans. We lost him too soon but his spirit lives on in the videos and I was so touched to receive this email today:

Dear Beth,

I just came across your video on vimeo of a mutual friend Mr. Battelle and I know it's about a year or more late but I just wanted to say Thank You for taking time to make that video , I need to hear his singing sometimes and it's a blessing to be able to in such high quality and see the very essence of Mark's journey in that video . Mark Saved my life 2 years ago and I will never forget him. I was only 25 then and he took me in and made me his brother instantly. THANK YOU for making that video even though it has indirectly been a benefit to me. I don't mean to stir anything more than love. You have gave me a piece of love and I would like for you to know that.

Yours Truly

After a little window shopping and the desire to rest my feet with my first and brand new DSLR, I sat on the wooden planks of the Mississippi River boardwalk near…

I was so glad to be a part of the first Posh in 2010! Right now, there is a group of professional female event filmmakers and some photographers too who are back on a cruise, teaching and learning from one another! Here is the winner of the the Inspiration Shoot in 2010 shot by Penn Weddings who was my roommate a few years later at the Posh 2012. You can see me at 2:04.

This is one of my dreams, to visit Lek and her sister elephants. Such an amazing soul. We love elephants here at Bella Films. You can see it in our logo.

Back in June we had the opportunity to travel to Southeast Asia share our storytelling techniques with filmmakers in that part of the world. And while we were there…

Do you know a selfless, kind and compassionate person who needs some exposure for a good cause? If so, please tell us who you might think is deserving of a louder voice with a short film for their cause? Story & Heart has started a Storytelling Parade and Bella Films wants to be part of it!

Whether “non-profit” is a legal designation or one only applicable in spirit, we want the world to know about the people who work tirelessly to change it for good.
