Dr. Shellie Hipsky's documentary on the Global Sisterhood needed a full visual campaign — poster, banner, broadcast graphics, and a website — carrying the same weight as the film itself.
One film. A full campaign built around it.
Step Forward in Sisterhood follows Dr. Shellie Hipsky and Camille Robb across Africa, Jamaica, and a Florida tent encampment, meeting women facing unimaginable adversity — and the sisterhood that forms when they choose to rise together. Presented by Ben Braun of Fly on the Wall Studios, the film needed a visual identity that could travel with it everywhere it went: onto a festival stage, into a premiere lobby, and across every screen the trailer would ever play on.
This is what was built.
The film's identity had to travel.
A retractable banner carried the poster art, credits, and a QR code straight to the donation page — built to stand up in a festival lobby or a premiere step-and-repeat and hold its own next to every other sponsor backdrop in the room.
A film about restraint gets a campaign about restraint.
Every asset — poster, banner, lower thirds, credits — pulls from the same palette and typography so the campaign reads as one continuous piece, whether it's on a screen, a table, or a wall.
Poster, banner, and broadcast graphics all pull from the same type and palette — nothing feels bolted on.
Lower thirds and credits designed to read clean at theater scale, not just on a laptop preview.
Dark, warm tones and quiet typography let the film's own imagery carry the emotional weight.
Every touchpoint — web, print, and stage — built to move a viewer toward the same door: the Global Sisterhood.
"A film this quiet doesn't need a loud campaign — it needs a consistent one."
— Terrence Sani, Sani Creative
The credits are part of the film, too.
A full set of lower thirds and credits carried every name in the credit roll — director, composer, associate producers, and the full crew — each one built to hold up on a theater screen, not just a laptop.
Two awards. One festival.
At the 2026 Los Angeles Tribune International Film Festival, Step Forward in Sisterhood took home Best Short Inspirational Documentary, with composer Nadeem Majdalany winning Best Original Score Documentary for the film's soundtrack.
A film, and the campaign to carry it.
Best Short Inspirational Documentary and Best Original Score Documentary, both at the 2026 LA Tribune International Film Festival.
Poster, banner, website, and broadcast graphics all built from the same visual language, top to bottom.
From the website to the festival stage, every asset was built to hold up in person, not just on a screen.
No templates. No shortcuts. Just work built to stand.
