Nonprofit Video Producer
Our “Woman Who Moves the City” – Patty Mooney
A few years ago at “Women Who Move the City” awards ceremony, 104 honorees gathered to celebrate. Our top Nonprofit Video Producer, editor and sound technician, Patty Mooney was one of those women. And San Diego Magazine sponsored the event.

Patty won recognition for her philanthropic community work. And primarily for her role in producing, editing and distributing the multiple-award-winning documentary, “The Invisible Ones: Homeless Combat Veterans.”
Small Acts of Kindness
Patty also produced a short video called “Small Acts of Kindness.” This documentary addresses the issue of homelessness in San Diego. “Small Acts” focuses on the work of local homelessness activists. It features a grassroots group of women called “Girls Think Tank.” Coincidentally, GTT Director, Rachel Jensen, was also one of the “Women Who Move the City.”
Girls Think Tank
Therefore Patty and Rachel happily shared the limelight at the lovely ceremony. Crystal Pyramid Productions had previously worked with Rachel and Girls Think Tank on yet another video highlighting their efforts to eradicate homelessness in San Diego.
Step-by-step, GTT has addressed various issues facing the homeless. Consequently, the group organizes several events every year. First and foremost, this includes the Backpack-Give-away in Autumn. During this time, GTT volunteers collect and compile backpacks and contents ranging from sleeping bags and rain ponchos to phone cards and snacks.
Then they distribute the backpacks and collected clothing to the homeless at a designated time and place.
We have been there in years past to donate clothing. And the line of homeless is sadly at least a couple of blocks long. Of course, as the years go by, the line gets longer.
Rachel Jensen participated in Nonprofit Video Producer, Patty’s documentary, “Small Acts of Kindness.” In addition, the video focuses on local philanthropist, Dave “The Waterman” Ross. Because this “Ghandi of the Ghetto” has donated hundreds of bottles of water to the homeless for many years now.
