MOONWALKING THE PINK CARPET

Last night, we walked the 2018 MTV VMAs pink carpet with Cox Communications’ Maria Esposito. Whether it was Queen Radio’s Nicki Minaj, Love & Hip Hop’s Amara La Negra or KUWTK’s Kylie Jenner, celebrities showed up and out to watch Jennifer Lopez receive the Video Vanguard award and see how many moonpeople Cardi B was going to rake up. We spoke with Lion Babe, Joshua Bassett, Audie Cornish, The Miz, Asian Doll, Jasmine Luv, Madison Beer and many more to capture the evening’s excitement and find out who was rooting for who.

We also got some great insight on connecting from the stars of MTV’s hit shows like Catfish, Pretty Little Mamas, and Wild N’ Out. It was a true New York City media moment as streets were barricaded, pedestrians looked on to see the stars and everyone struggled to find their taxi. For more on the night’s stargazing, check out our videos with Cox Communications here. 

THE CONTENTLY FOUNDATION

Telling stories that need to be heard is at the heart of everything Dugud Lab does. While many organizations tell stories that matter, it's rare to find a group of people that believe in the inherent power of storytelling and its potential to change the world. Director & Co-Founder Zack McDowell had the pleasure of creating a mission video for The Contently Foundation. This organization sheds light on stories often overlooked by major news sources.

Through steadfast investigative journalism, this NY based 501(c)3 has partnered with Fusion, Gawker, New York Post, and the Guardian to bring these stories to the masses. You may not know that these stories can take months to investigate and countless hours from various volunteers to put together. Zack was fortunate to follow their team for a week, gain insight into all they do, and create a video that strives to capture all their great work.
