Horizon Focus

Vireo Health is a publicly traded medical cannabis company competing in a highly competitive and regulated market. Its investor communications covered the numbers, but they could not fully capture the history, future, and people behind the company.

Vireo came to Current Resident requesting a handful of Investor Day videos - something to run alongside their decks while a room full of skeptical shareholders sat in their seats. The more we listened to what they were after, the clearer it became that a handful of videos weren't going to spark the change they were after.
What the work had to do:
- Make a clear, credible case for investors without leaning on another PowerPoint.
- Connect Vireo’s financial story to its impact on patients and communities.
- Build trust with regulators, partners and audiences outside the investor room.
- Give employees across the country a shared understanding of the company’s mission.



Tell them a story they can't look away from, and then offer to make 'em buckets of money.
The original plan called for ten individual videos. We proposed building one feature-length documentary instead: a film that could move between the financial case for investing and the human reason to give a damn.
That meant coordinating production across seven states in ten weeks, then shaping leadership, operational and patient stories into one clear narrative. The larger format gave Vireo room to take the audience on a journey and tell a more complete story than a collection of standalone videos ever could.

Horizon Focus premiered at Investor Day and went on to earn national recognition, including a Clio. The film helped investors and external audiences better understand Vireo’s mission, business, and differentiation in a crowded category.
Internally, it created a shared reference point for teams across the country, aligning people around the work happening beyond their individual markets. It became a source of pride for the organization and a lasting expression of what they were building together. Vireo's own leadership called it something they'd be proud of for the rest of their lives. We'll call that a W.
“This blew me away. It tells not only how we started Vireo, but what makes us different. You all are a different breed from the rest of the pack.”
— Dr. Kyle Kingsley, Chairman & CEO, Vireo Health
