The Red Cross Real Heroes Awards celebrate the everyday people in our communities who have demonstrated extraordinary acts of courage, kindness, and service. These individuals—first responders, military members, good Samaritans, and selfless volunteers—step up in ways that inspire and uplift those around them. Each year, the American Red Cross Southern California Region shines a spotlight on these remarkable individuals in San Diego, Inland Empire, Orange County, and Long Beach, ensuring their stories are recognized and remembered.
For over a decade, Hildreth Media has been entrusted with producing these impactful videos, helping to bring each hero’s journey to life. Our team handles the entire production process—scheduling and coordinating interviews, traveling across Southern California to meet each honoree, and capturing their incredible stories on film. From the quiet bravery of a lifesaving moment to the lasting impact of a community leader, we craft each story with the care and respect it deserves.
The storytelling doesn’t stop with filming. Our editing and post-production process ensures that each video is polished, compelling, and worthy of the heroes being honored. One of our trademarks in these videos is a simple but powerful question: "Are you a real hero?" Without fail, every honoree humbly denies the title, proving that true heroes don’t see themselves as such—they simply act out of instinct, compassion, and selflessness.
Being part of the Real Heroes Awards is more than just a production project for us—it’s a privilege. Meeting so many inspiring individuals and helping share their stories with the world is one of the most rewarding aspects of our work. Through these videos, we not only honor these heroes but also remind our communities of the power of kindness, courage, and resilience.
