The Greening of Blue Hill Ave
by Matt Paley
We at Saint Eliot are very proud to be based in Boston, where (nearly*) all of us were born and raised. Until now, however, all we’ve had to show for our allegiance to our favorite city is gentle accents and fashion sense reminiscent of most english professors.
But today, I’m very pleased to announce Saint Eliot’s collaboration with Nuestra Comunidad and Youthbuild Boston at the launch of their historic partnership, The Greening of Blue Hill Ave.
The Greening of Blue Hill Ave is a new partnership between YouthBuild and Nuestra which aims to reverse the devastation caused in the low income and predominantly minority neighborhoods of Roxbury, Mattapan, and Dorchester by decades of discriminatory banking and insurance practices referred to as redlining.
Saint Eliot and Company is proud to be a partner of these organizations and to assist in their fight to educate, support and empower the people of Boston.
This video was produced by Company filmmakers Matt Paley and Brian Barth, along with frequent Company collaborators Sasha Winters, Christian Kiley, and Jeff Kulig.

Great job on this film! With all the bad press around the recovery act, its great to see the other side–how a little funding can help the mortgage crisis, job training, the community, and the environment all at once.
Thanks for making this film.
