Hero Story

Paul Schmidt is a master storyteller who truly loves his community. Paul is in his 20th year as owner and creative video strategist for Uno Deuce Multimedia. This Lansing-based video storytelling agency works with nonprofit organizations and socially responsible small businesses to document what they do to impact their communities positively.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, many agencies were utterly lost in navigating this new "virtual world." Child and Family Charities, like many nonprofits, were left wondering how they were going to fundraise to support crucial programs in the community and the rapidly growing number of families served. The idea of hosting virtual meetings and events that would be successful seemed impossible. Paul helped make it happen. Paul's skillset directly aligned with the changing needs, and his willingness to volunteer his time and share his expertise became an invaluable asset to organizations all around the Lansing area.
