BROWNIELAND LENDS A HAND TO ATLANTA NONPROFITS IN 2018

Over the years, Brownieland Pictures has been continually inspired working with organizations that give back to the community. Our goal is to empower nonprofits by expanding their reach and engaging communities through stories that inspire and motivate. We do this by partnering with nonprofits to create emotionally compelling videos that make a difference and by giving our time through volunteer work.
