Aria Studios: Christine and Kash

While wedding cinematography and still photography are their “bread and butter,” Aria Studios owners Kolby and Jay have a passion to use their gifts and talents to help children who are at risk or in abject poverty.  They know that digital media is a powerful storytelling medium; one that can give a voice to those who have none.  Exceptional skills in all areas of digital media combined with a heart to help those hurting – we think it’s a marriage made in heaven!

When asked to describe themselves, they are in turn serious and silly:

filmmakers. photographers. writers. artists. dreamers. dancers. risk-takers. ridiculous. curious. cool. sappy. happy. stylish. hungry. addicted to dessert

Thankfully, the recent flooding in Thailand did not affect the mango supply so we were able to fuel Aria’s dynamic duo Christine and Kash with their favorite Thai sweet treat: Mango & Sticky Rice!

The entire ZOE family was excited at the arrival of Aria Studios to film our new ZOE Children’s Home, but no one was more thrilled than the kids!  It seems every boy and girl was dreaming of a chance to be a movie star!

We couldn’t wait to see the finished products of Aria’s hard work so we took a sneak peak at the footage and – wow!  It is simply beautiful!  We can hardly wait to share the final result with everyone.

Team Aria also left us with some breathtaking still photos of the ZOE children.  You can bet our Guardian Alliance child sponsors (ZOE’s child sponsorship program) will be surprised and delighted when we send them pictures of “their child.”

Check out the Aria Studios blog for more information and examples of their recent projects.

On behalf of everyone at ZOE, we want to say a huge “THANK YOU Aria Studios!”  In our opinion, your focus is just right!
