Remarkable Futures

A Surprise and Delight Campaign Filmed at Local Chick-fil-A’s Across the US With All Local Crews.

Each year, Chick-fil-A surprises a number of restaurant Team Members with $25,000 dollars to use for higher education through the Remarkable Futures Scholarships Program. From 2023 to 2025 we partnered with Chick-fil-A to produce and film all scholarship presentations around the U.S. and Puerto Rico with our local crews and core team leading the way.

The project perfectly called for a local approach and by activating our Hometeam filmmaker network and model, we compressed timelines, while telling stories efficiently and sustainably. 

Over the course of all three campaigns, our post, production, and creative leads have worked collaboratively alongside the Chick-fil-A team to bring each story to life with polish and authenticity. We also proudly filmed scholarship presentations in 41 different cities with zero crew air travel—making for a planet-friendly production.
