New England Conservatory
NEC Prep - 75 Years
For its 75th anniversary, New England Conservatory brought in Doza Visuals to tell the story of NEC Prep, the program that has shaped generations of young musicians. We dug into decades of archival footage and photography, then brought that history forward with new interviews and freshly captured moments from today's students, faculty, and alumni. The result is a documentary portrait of a place where talent gets nurtured early and carried for a lifetime. It's a film about legacy, but it's really about people: the teachers who push, the kids who show up every Saturday, and the music that connects them across 75 years.
Everyone Can Make Music” Summer Program
We teamed up with NEC Prep to bring their “Everyone Can Make Music” summer program to life. This free, on‑campus initiative welcomed 30 Boston elementary students for a two‑week, hands‑on music immersion—think singing, playing, composing, and even a little movement with “I Can Sing” and “I Can Play” classes led by NEC faculty. Funded by a $14.5 million grant, the program not only broadened access to music education but also offered full fall scholarship opportunities to every participant. Our video recapped the joy, creativity, and transformation that unfolded—making it a powerful piece for storytelling, promotion, and building donor engagement.
Commencement 2024 featuring Paul Simon
For the 153rd NEC Commencement, we captured a deeply moving celebration of new beginnings, highlighted by none other than Paul Simon serving as the commencement speaker and honorary Doctor of Music. The video not only spotlighted the graduate journeys and the life-changing spirit of music but was elevated by Simon’s poetic reflections as a living legend sharing his wisdom on stage . It beautifully blends ceremony and soul, making it a standout piece for NEC’s storytelling and alumni engagement.
