Interior designers Kristen Dibella and Suzan Kelley brilliantly captured the essence of the 103-year-old park with a nod to the historical nature of Boston itself. "Everything was reclaimed wood, black and white photographs and Red Sox history," said DiBella. "It just felt like it was natural to Boston. That was our inspiration for this space."

Cambridge Biomarketing – Scott Nobles


Spreading Awareness for Cystinosis


M Doucette Production was hired by Cambridge BioMarketing to produce a campaign for their latest pharmaceutical campaign. Cystinosis is a rare, metabolic disease that affects about 2,000 people worldwide and causes cystine amino acid to accumulate in various organs of the body. Without specific treatment, children with cystinosis develop end-stage kidney failure at approximately age 9 years old. But thanks to ongoing treatment, it is now possible for patients to live lives that are not only longer, but better.

CONCEPT: The goal of the campaign was to remind our cystinosis sufferers to stay strong, continue their treatment and never fall victim to fading away.

CHALLENGE: Produce a one-day, on location commercial photoshoot with four models to portray cystinosis patients in four completely different settings.

OUR SOLUTION: Hire New York photographer Scott Nobles, whose illustrative quality, fast-paced yet consistent work ethic and mastery of digital compositing are second to none.


Behind the Scenes



Casting - It was essential our models reflected the typical cystinotic patient: blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin. We saw upwards of 100 children and young adults...but only four would make the cut.


Locations – Each scene was vastly different from the next: school, garden, urban street corner and parking garage. Thankfully, Michele was able to scout 4 locations within a 2-minute driving distance. Problem solved.


Crew – Wardrobe stylist Sara Mills-BroffmanDigital tech Rob Coshow and production assistant Robyn Maguire keep an eye on the monitor to ensure photographic perfection.
