Video Story Helps Rent Luxury Apartments

By Phil Santoro

Those of us who grew up in Massachusetts fondly remember the old Charleston Chew factory in Everett. Its bright yellow sign towering over Route 16 for daily commuters and day trippers to Revere Beach to see.

The gooey, chewy candy bar, first made in 1922, is still available today, but the factory moved out. The old brick building has been redeveloped into a beautiful new apartment complex, as captured in this terrific video created by Mark for the developer, Post Road Residential. In addition to posting the video on its website (lower left hand corner), it also plays on a continuous loop on a large screen in the model unit and in the leasing office, where it catches the eye (and the interest) of potential tenants. The developer credits the video with helping to lease the building ahead of schedule. read more

Compelling stories for news organizations, nonprofits, businesses: Mark created this video for the Boston Globe to go along with a story he wrote about bike accidents and what communities are doing to make the roads safer.


We created this mini-documentary-style video, and one other, to make people aware of the dangers commercial fishermen face to provide a valuable food source. A few hundred people attended a fundraising screening in Boston, including Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker.


This is one  in a series of videos on the opioid epidemic, designed to raise awareness and empathy that hopefully will result in more effective ways to combat this problem.
