Blue Chalk collaborated with Metropolitan State University of Denver to create a five-minute video launching the University’s Roadrunners Rise fundraising campaign. The short film honors the spirit of the ‘roadrunner’ across more than six decades, and looks ahead to MSU Denver’s bright future.

The piece featured inspired students, faculty, and alumni across campus, at home, and in the community. Each frame thoughtfully captures the roadrunner’s enduring spirit while set to the spoken word performance of Colorado’s 9th Poet Laureate and MSU Denver alumnus, Bobby LeFrebre.
