The name, “Kala,” stems from the Greek word meaning beauty, order and rightness in the world. For
The Kala Project, these are the stories that are sought out to share.
Bradley Productions, a Grand Rapids creative production team, has spent the last three years focused on storytelling by way of commercial and wedding productions. Last September, they began the journey to share stories that made an impact in a different way, setting up The Kala Project.
“We literally sat around a ping-pong table,” said Bradley Jansen, Founder and Development Director at Bradley Productions, “We wanted to share stories that often aren’t often shared due to the lack of time, money or resources.”
This passion for storytelling became alive in the Kala Project, a nonprofit launched by Bradley Productions dedicated to sharing “stories that speak.”
“Something about making a lasting impact, through a video, is really cool,” Kala Project Director Kyle Venhousen said, “We’re just sharing stories that speak.”
