Poz Cafe, TIHAN’s (Tucson Interfaith AIDS Network) monthly lunch for people living with HIV, is an opportunity for you to get out of the house, take a break, meet other positive people, and enjoy great food! On the third Thursday of each month from 11:30am to 1:30pm, volunteers from local faith communities provide a fantastic, delicious and nutritious lunch. This is followed by time to “hang out,” chat, participate in a game or two of bingo, enjoy our raffle of fun and useful gifts, and receive a CarePackage.
People living with HIV and one guest (18 or older) are invited. All attending the cafe are asked to honor the highest standard of confidentiality.
Annual End of the Year Meeting Time for Beyond Video
Each year we go away for a few days so we can evaluate the present year. We discuss our accomplishments for the year. We look at the type of clients we had and how they came to us. Then we determine our strategies for marketing for the coming year. We make long term and short term goals for the following year. This has been a great tool for us because we talk about what types of projects we like to do so we can continue enjoying our work.
“Thinking time” during the meeting.
Getting Ready for the Big Annual Meeting
To be successful every business large or small should have a year end assessment meeting. I know for us it gets us energized for the coming year.
Cindy Beving met with us at Beyond Video and wanted a unique video that would promote her business. Since we knew she had 4 dogs and that they were a part of her team we suggested that they be the stars of her promotional video. We were off to a great start.
We arranged a rehearsal so Petey the main star and his siblings got to be around us with our cameras.
Check out the promotional/marketing video that was created in collaboration with Cindy of Beving Books.
Here’s what Cindy had to say about her experience.
“I am beyond pleased with how my video came out. I knew I wanted something other than the norm for my industry and they came through with flying colors. I highly recommend their services.”
We love collaborating with clients when working on marketing videos. Working with clients like Angie make our job as filmmakers a breeze. Her contagious smile and positive attitude made the shoot perfect.
Review of our services:
From Angie:
“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Beyond Video to create a marketing video. Annyce and Glenn made the whole thing a breeze, from the moment I walked in the door to the time I reluctantly left their studio.
What impressed me most:
– Their professionalism and attention to the smallest details.
– Their unending wells of patience with an amateur (me!).
– The quality of the videos they produce. I got to see a little bit of the editing process and was shocked at how perfectly they created the lighting, got the right angles and captured more than just the words I was saying.
This was a much better experience than I expected and I will definitely work with Beyond Video again!”
From Steven:
“I am very pleased with the outcome of the video that you did for my associate Angie. You guys are unbelievable. It was quick, precise and very professional. I will highly recommend you to anyone. Keep up the great work. You guys are awesome.”
For more than five years Beyond Video has filmed TIHAN‘s, (Tucson Interfaith HIV AIDS Network) annual fundraising event. It’s a great way to give back to our Tucson community and share the importance of this non-profit organization.
Treasures for TIIHAN is the major fundraising event of the year for TIHAN. It is a live and silent auction with entertainment and food galore.
The Tuscon Interfaith HIV/AIDS Network (TIHAN) offers their hearts and hands to provide compassionate and non-judgmental service to those affected by HIV/AIDS. Through education and support, they – as individuals and faith communities work to build bridges, reduce stigma and sustain hope.

What our clients think about our service is very important to us. That’s why we encourage our clients to let us know how we did by asking them to write a review on Goggle, Facebook and any other place they want to share their experience with us.
Reviews help our clients and prospective clients hear what experiences our clients have had with us. I know I would want to do business with a company that works well with their clients.
On February 24, 2018 members from the Tucson GLBT Chamber of Commerce and other volunteers came out for the Rainbow Build Day in Tucson Arizona to lend a hand. Being GLBT Tucson Chamber members and documenting previous Rainbow Builds we at Beyond Video wanted to come out again and film all the work and of course fun our members had during the build day.
Sometimes we get a project that we know will be memorable. This was one of them. The Radisson Suites in Tucson needed to create an original video to present at their conference. They had a concept and ideas of how they were going to put that into a short video. It needed to be creative and show their hotel in the desert. At Beyond Video we filmed and adapted their concepts to create a very funny, entertaining and very informative video.
Since today is National Trivia Day we at Beyond Video thought we’d share some trivia with you. The trivia is about Beyond Video and some Japanese trivia items.
