In the 1930s, farmers in southern Ohio who had been passed over by the power companies banded together and built their own. That cooperative became South Central Power. Ninety years later the same communities were being passed over again, this time for broadband, and the co-op answered the same way. It built the network itself, as connectSCP, with Nokia as its technology partner.
That parallel is the spine of a new film from connectSCP and Nokia, and Doozy Crew was the production crew on the ground in Highland County to capture it for an agency working from overseas.
The story
The film runs just under five minutes and is built almost entirely from the people who live with the result. Misty Tuttle, South Central Power's vice president of broadband, frames the mission. Highland County Commissioner David Daniels explains what connectivity means for businesses operating out of barns and outbuildings instead of storefronts. The Highland County Humane Society in Hillsboro talks about adoption listings, a printer, five laptops, and ten phones all hanging off one connection. The county airport describes finally operating at the standard modern aviation expects. Families talk about banking, streaming, remote work, and a church service watched from home the Sunday after an injury.
Nokia's role comes near the end, in Tuttle's words: a partner for reliability, scalability, and long-term support, "not just selling equipment, but investing in the outcome."
Our role
The agency behind the film was based outside the country, so Doozy Crew was the production on the ground. Over two days in Highland County in June 2026 we crewed the shoot and brought the equipment to make the story come to life: multi-camera interview setups for every subject, drone video of the county and the communities in the film, and the supporting footage that carries the story between interviews. When we wrapped, we organized and delivered the raw footage, and the agency cut the film from there.
Why we're sharing it
Not every project needs us from concept through color. Sometimes a brand or an agency already has the story and the editor, and what they need is a crew in Ohio who can make the production happen: show up with the right gear, run interviews with community members, business owners, and county leadership across two days, fly the drone, and hand over clean, organized footage. We can be your boots on the ground for that, and the edit can go either way. We'll cut it, or you can.
It's also a story we believe in. Columbus is home base, but most of our shoots happen well outside it, and the places that get passed over are usually the ones with the best stories. If you're a brand or agency that needs a production crew in Ohio, this is what that looks like.
