How We Filmed The Founding Kit Introductory Video

We shot a video! We shot a video!

In an effort to bring our new product, The Founding Kit, to life, we thought it would be wisest to do it through film. Our website is pretty straightforward, but it’s full of words. Who has time to read words anymore? With a visual story told in 60 seconds, we’ll save our clients the headache of reading and instead help them to point and giggle at our amateur acting jobs.

We spent the day at 1871, a co-working space where Tamara Nolte, my co-founder, and I both met and work. It’s a beautiful, expansive space full of entrepreneurs apparently ready to act at a moment’s notice. We needed eight actors who need acting jobs and started the day with three confirmed. Tamara and I ran around, scripts in hand, asking different entrepreneurs to spend five minutes on camera for us. And they did. They all did. How grateful were we?

With five different scenes, four-hundred billion takes, thirteen actors (including Dylan the Skateboarder who let us shoot him skating by 17 times), one Director of Photography, one Director and 52 Dunkin’ Donuts, we were done.

Thanks to Ashbey Riley, founder of Bum Bul Bee Photo + Films, we were able to harness our energy and turn it into a storytelling piece so potential customers can truly understand acting jobs what we’re offering via The Founding Kit. Stay tuned for its release!
