Welcome to Tellwell’s weekly Plog (photo-blog)!

A sweet celebration, multiple film shoots, an office birthday, and some alone time at the office well-spent? Let’s see what we were up to this week! 🌟

This week’s writer

Hey readers, it’s Kari! I’m the video content specialist here at Tellwell and I have the pleasure of writing this week’s plog. As part of the film team, I conduct interviews, direct talent, write storylines, and so much more! Let’s get into it!

Sweetheart celebration ❤️

Last weekend, Team Tellwell was honored to attend, sponsor, and photograph the Ronald McDonald House Charities Sweetheart Ball! This is an amazing event that supports an even more amazing organization. Gearing up to the gala, Tellwell supported RMHC with film and design — creating the mission moment film, the event program, and more.

Showing up for our Story Makers is one of our favorite ways to spend time as a team. Whether it was sharing a meal together, seeing our work out in the world, or even taking home one of the many amazing raffle prizes (look at that jersey!), it was another fantastic Sweetheart Ball.

Film shoots galore! 🎥

Even though the film team was back home for the week, that doesn’t mean the filming stopped! We had three days worth of filming this week. From Fargo all the way to Park River, we were out there getting interviews, b-roll, and everything in between. There are several projects in the works that will be moving into post production soon!

Lucas the birthday boy 🎉

Did someone say birthday bagels??

To end the week, we celebrated our very own Lead Project Manager Lucas’s birthday! As you are well aware, there’s few things the team loves more than sharing birthday treats with each other. We gathered around the kitchen to have bagels with cream cheese and enough coffee to go around. We appreciate everything you do for our teams, Lucas — happy birthday!

Holding down the fort 🏠

When PTO, film travel, and life circumstances happen all on the same day, sometimes that can leave the office feeling a bit empty. Luckily, we are a group that will always find ways to not only entertain ourselves, but our coworkers near and far.

When Project Manager Megan found herself having the entire building to herself, she made sure to bring us along for a day in the life of a lonely Tellwellian. Don’t worry, we all came back the next day to bring her some company!

That wraps up this week! Keep an eye out for our next plog, coming February 27th!
