Challenge
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people, especially young adults, were struggling with isolation, grief, and disconnection. How could Keats tell a story that speaks to the ache of loneliness while pointing to the deeper truth of connection in Christ?
Insight
Even when circumstances don’t change, our perspective can.
Keats Camp may not erase loneliness, but it fosters a space where people can experience acceptance, healing, and the transformative power of community.

Solution
Anthem created Emma, a personal and cinematic vignette that follows one camper’s journey from grief to hope. Through storytelling and visual narrative, the film illustrates how being part of the Keats community—and ultimately, God’s family—can reframe pain and invite people into a lasting sense of belonging.
