UNITED WAY CRE LEADERSHIP AWARD

Who is Steve Samuels? 

Each year the United Way of Massachusetts Bay hosts their annual real estate breakfast, where a local leader in real estate is honored for their philanthropic efforts in the greater Boston community. In 2016, Steve Samuels was recognized for this award. 

Boston Virtual Imaging partnered with Kevin Bright (close friend of Steve’s and producer of hit television show, Friends) to produce a video about Steve Samuel’s philanthropic efforts in Boston. 

The client’s need for this video was to highlight Steve Samuel’s involvement in the communities that they live and work in everyday, as a principal developer at Samuels & Associates The video was created with the intention of being shown at the award ceremony in front of Boston’s real estate community. The overall timeline for this project was six weeks. 

In order to tell this story, Boston Virtual Imaging and Kevin Bright spent three days filming coworkers, close friends and family of Steve. Archival imagery was found and combined with b-roll to support the narrative. 

I always really enjoy any interview based video where we have the time and permission to film people who are willing to open up in front of the camera. Throughout the longevity of the project, I was able to build relationships with our subjects and what they had to share. Once this project was delivered to the client, I felt like a part of me had become a part of the Samuels & Associates team.
