As independent filmmaking was beginning to surge in 2003, I designed a playful, memorable postcard mailer to promote a Summer Storyteller’s Workshop co-produced by TV Specialists, Inc. and Sony’s Broadcast Division.

The concept tapped into nostalgia — the idea that Mom used to put your best work on the fridge — and now she still can. The front of the card featured a whimsical child’s drawing and a gleaming demo reel DVD displayed on a refrigerator door, blending creativity with professional aspiration. To tie it all together, we distributed DVD-hole-sized magnets, letting recipients literally stick their “best work” to the fridge.

All event details and registration information were printed on the reverse side, keeping the front clean, eye-catching, and emotionally engaging. The result was a lighthearted yet effective piece that resonated with the growing community of independent creators.
