AIDA 4 LA
In 2025, longtime activist, elected official and human rights attorney Aida Ashouri launched a campaign for Los Angeles City Attorney. As a third-party candidate running for a lesser-known city office, she faced two distinct challenges: name recognition and lack of awareness of the position itself. Elysian Films worked with Aida to craft an advertisement focused on the importance of the City Attorney and how her grassroots experience separates her from the establishment candidates, all shot at key landmarks of the LA immigrant experience.

The video garnered 10,000 views on Instagram in its first 24 hours and saw high cross-platform sharing from local and national viewers alike.
FEED THE STREETS
In August 2025, Elysian Films partnered with Feed the Streets, a local non-profit responding to the widespread ICE raids across Los Angeles. This campaign supported an initiative aiming to deliver groceries to families directly impacted by the raids, many of whom were unable or afraid to leave their homes. The goal? Spotlight the process and the dedicated volunteers behind it, driving awareness, donations, and long-term sustainability for the program.
​
Elysian Films produced a series of four short-form videos optimized for social media that Feed the Streets posted over one week in mid-September. The results were immediate: The campaign generated a significant boost in engagement and reach along with a surge in donations, new sponsorship interest, and multiple invitations for radio and podcast features.
