Case Study: StarCore Nuclear builds trust and support for clean energy with HCP Associates

StarCore Nuclear powers stakeholder engagement with a 10-minute film from HCP Associates

The customer, StarCore Nuclear, faced the challenge of promoting its new helium-cooled small modular reactors and Indigenous co-ownership model within a complex landscape of historical distrust in energy projects. They needed to translate this highly technical solution into a clear, human story that would resonate with Indigenous leaders, policymakers, and investors. The vendor, HCP Associates, developed the "Powering Together" cinematic documentary to address this.

HCP Associates created a 10-minute documentary that reframed the narrative around relationships and partnership rather than leading with technology. The solution, produced using a virtual LED environment, integrated Indigenous perspectives, executive interviews, and custom animation. As a result, the film became a central asset for StarCore, used consistently for stakeholder engagement, policy discussions, and investor presentations to demonstrate a new model of energy development built on trust.
