IN THE CLIENT'S WORDS · NPCA DAY OF ACTION, AUGUST 2026
Events across the country on a Tuesday, footage arriving through the day, and a recap video the campaign needed on social the next afternoon. The approved final cut went out on Wednesday.
“National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) had an incredibly tight timeline to bring our Day of Action together, and the Burrito Films team absorbed that pressure seamlessly when it came to our recap video for the campaign. What could have easily become our problem to manage never did, they were incredibly understanding, flexible and professional throughout the compressed timeline (while we were juggling several other balls in addition to this aspect of the campaign).
And we couldn't have been happier with the final product. Our internal stakeholders were genuinely effusive about the video, and that enthusiasm extended well beyond our internal teams: the response from our members and supporters was incredibly strong, with the video generating meaningful engagement across social.
The combination of creativity, professionalism and flexibility made them an exceptional partner. They didn't just deliver a great product under an extraordinary timeline – they made the process feel manageable when it easily could have been anything but. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to capture the spirit of our Day of Action.”
Casey Pola, Senior Director, Strategic Partnerships & Marketing
