A Day in the Life of a Real Estate Agent

A Day in the Life of a Real Estate Agent

The key to any story is the flow, especially on a platform like Instagram. My team at Edit Cellar created this social media weapon for a real estate agent I was working with to purchase a home. I had known him and his mortgage partner for many years. They wanted to do something different, like a day in the life.

After hearing the initial idea and getting them to give me a list of bullet points, I came up with a script. They then educated me on some lingo and we made a few technical tweaks. Then, we were ready to rock. The client secured the cast and locations. It was my job to put it all together.

Luckily, I had help from a great team.

Life Lessons with LifeAce

Life Lessons with LifeAce

In the beginning of the year, I got to work on an amazing testimonial project. Most times, I find testimonials lack engagement. Unless they are genuine, interesting, and somebody important, they tend to be ignored by audiences. We all rationalize in our head ‘that’s probably their friend, etc.’.

With LifeAce, it was different right from the jump. Founder Mario Canta had a legacy of clients that were interesting, renowned businesses, well established in their fields, and even famous in one case. More importantly for me, each of these clients presented a genuine story of how Mario and his team at LifeAce had impacted their lives through life insurance.

There were no prepared statements, or coaxing. We just simply turned on the camera and let these clients pour their hearts out. Each of their stories was genuine, and unique. The variety of personalities and trades was incredible. It was amazing how impactful decisions such as life insurance can be on you & your families financial well being.

One of the pure joys of being in video production is how you get to learn the ins & outs of many different industries. I certainly learned an immense amount about life insurance through our work with LifeAce, and they have my recommendation should you need a guaranteed policy for life!

Spaceshippin by Water4Mars

‘Spaceshippin’, by Water 4 Mars, an official selection at the 2018 Garden State Film Festival.

I wrote & directed this music video / short film after my very first listen to the song in Water 4 Mars’ magical basement studio known as ‘Sri Lanka’. At the time, the political climate was heightened on all sides post election, and I imagined the youth needing a spaceship to escape this world to live free among the aliens as the melody invaded my inner ear.

For a sneak peak during the making, check out our last vlog for some behind the scenes action.
