Campaign/Political

Video offers an incredibly dynamic form of campaign communication, especially powerful for websites and social media platforms, as well broadcast. Clients include:

Paul Thissen,
Minnesota Gubernatorial Candidate

“Norah Shapiro and Flying Pieces Productions did an amazing job capturing and telling the personal story behind the campaign noise. She is perceptive, responsive, patient and made sure we remained true to my overall vision for the film while adding incredible insight and expertise to the final product. I couldn’t be more happy with Norah and her team.”

Jillia Pessenda,
Minneapolis, Ward 1 City Council Candidate

“I met Norah Shapiro when I was working on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign and she was filming the documentary “Time for Ilhan.” I was impressed by the professionalism of Norah and her crew. When I was kicking off my own campaign for Minneapolis City Council, I knew Norah was the person to capture the energy of that moment and she did just that in the short video she created. I look forward to working with her in the future.”

Norah created a very compelling video for our funders. She interviewed Legal Aid staff, Whittier Clinic staff and a patient who became Legal Aid client. With each interview, she asked compelling questions, captured the authentic story and made our work understandable. She was very professional, easy to work with, flexible and efficient.

Norah did a brilliant job of capturing intertwining human stories. She was tireless about being present for key events and moments, asking incisive questions and maintaining great respect for the young people who were the subjects of the film. She was able to distill countless hours of footage to weave a clear and compelling story that has brought a lot of attention to the program. She brings a unique background I public service and non-profit leadership to her video artistry. I would highly recommend her services.
