Project

Capture the essence of Black culture during the historical Kenwood Garden Grand Opening in Chicago's Southside through a short-form documentary.

Problem

In the 6900 block of South Kenwood Avenue, 13 abandoned properties donated by the city of Chicago have been transformed into a beautiful garden filled with hundreds of flowering perennials, native prairie plants, and trees from all over the world. The garden, which was funded by $4 million provided by companies and foundations, is not only a sight to behold, but also serves as a solution to the problem of urban blight in the area. By transforming abandoned properties into a lush garden, the community now has a space that brings people together, provides a peaceful retreat from the busy city, and serves as a metaphor for the growth and renewal of Chicago.

Solution

A short-form documentary that captures the sights, sounds, and emotions of the Kenwood Garden Grand Opening, celebrates the power of community and the beauty of Black culture, and serves as a symbol of growth and renewal.

Kenwood Garden Grand Opening

The Forum | $50k Fundraiser

Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa and Bella Bahhs

Project

We had a major mission to accomplish: raise $50K to restore the Forum, a legendary performance venue in Bronzeville that's been a pillar of Black culture for decades. And with the help of some of the most talented artists in the city, we did just that.

Problem

Our team at ROQA Productions was honored to film and edit a fundraising campaign that showcased the best of Chicago's arts scene. We tapped into the power of elite performers like Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa, bringing their unique styles and voices to the project.

But this campaign was about more than just raising funds. It was about preserving a piece of history and creating a new space for Black artists to thrive. That's why we partnered with UrbanJunction, a non-profit with a bold vision for the Forum.

Solution

With our support, the Urban Junction Foundation plans to convert the Forum into a vibrant art space that celebrates and uplifts the Black community. And we couldn't be prouder to be part of that mission.

So if you need a team committed to making a real impact, look no further than ROQA Productions. We're not just making dope videos – we're about using our skills to create positive change in our city and beyond.

Project

Our team was recently hired by the Normandy Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota to provide a crew and gear to direct and create digital assets for their 2023 website.

Problem

Normandy faced the challenge of showcasing the multiculturalism of Minneapolis, where the hotel has been serving guests for over 50 years. We provided high-quality images and a high-performance crew that delivered exactly what Normandy needed to launch their new website.

Solution

Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash

Performance By Joey Purps

Project

Yo, check it out! Our very own Director Southside was in the Chi in late August 2021, capturing some sick footage that you want to attend. He was on the scene for Purps' festival performance and used the New Red Komodo 6k Cinema Camera to catch all the action.

Problem

You already know that most cine cameras don't come with autofocus, but Red has been experimenting with a beta version that we just had to test out in the field. And let us tell you, the results are fire!

Solution

We put together a few clips so you can see just how dope this footage is. Trust us, you won't be disappointed. So hit play, sit back, and soak up the vibes of this epic performance. And if you need some killer footage for your own project, you know who to call.
