When Russ from Ownage pranks called me I thought for sure it was a prank. He needed a remote producer for concept ideation, project management, and story/editorial notes. We delivered on time and with blazing speed. We worked on 10 videos together.

YOUTUBE CAMPAIGN
JEFFREY IQBAL
When I first met Jeffrey Iqbal he was a recognized Bollywood musician with little presence on Youtube. He was looking to organize a string of music video releases for his upcoming tour dates, we only had 1 day to knock out 5 music videos. We got together in New Jersey for a full day of sweat, singing, and determination, and let's just say the results were astounding. I hate to base metrics on views, but these metrics really do stand out. After posting 5 straight videos, the final one exploded, he went from 8-9k views per video to 2.3 million within a few months. We went from idea to release in a total of 2 weeks and tons of roasted coffee beans. He now has a community with hundreds of thousands of fans.

MUSIC VIDEOS
This is where Mastrotunes grounded its roots. My first job was on the streets of Philadelphia, working with small music artists to help them establish visuals for their music releases. The boom of social media lasted decades and eventually started recording my own music and shooting my own videos. We start every idea by breaking down the concept of the song and its meaning to the artist, then we maximize ways to complete that vision. We lock down locations, crew, and equipment, and you sit back and watch the magic happen. We understand the value of having a visually stunning video that captures the essence of your brand. From our beginnings working with small music artists to our present-day productions for top industry clients, we have always been dedicated to delivering work that exceeds expectations. Check out our recent projects and see how Mastrotunes can help elevate your brand.

EVENT VIDEOGRAPHY
LIVE STREAMING
We pride ourselves on our ability to capture live events in a way that truly immerses the audience. When Louis and Alicia were getting married they asked me to film it for them, I shot this wedding video on my phone in order to live stream it via facebook for those that couldn't be there, then put together a nice lo-res edit for them that they could keep forever.
We worked with Jeffrey on a live show that showcased his incredible talent and unique style. Shortly after, we filmed a live event that was truly one of a kind. The resulting video was used as promotional material for the next concert series, generating buzz and excitement. Learn more about our live event coverage and see why you should trust Mastrotunes to capture your next big moment. Let us capture that special moment and immortalize it forever.

NARRATIVE SHORT
MAGNILOQUENT
FROM READ-THROUGH TO REALITY
A labor of love in every sense of the word. This short film was shot on 35mm Kodak motion picture stock. It had a festival run and received acclaim for its farcical portrayal of life in film school. The self-reflexive tale of a student struggling with creative aspirations, lack of finances, and living with his over-the-hill, once-revered filmmaking grandmother. We organized the crew for this 3-day shoot. We shot on a massive 80 lb Bolex camera, which led to a few issues getting the shots we needed. The rush of shooting on film was something indescribable. The palpable energy of film (and money) running through the gate is like nothing we could have ever imagined. When all was said and done, the film had paved the way for an up-and-coming filmmaker to springboard off to the next project.
PLOT:
In order to graduate from college, Mike needs to complete his short film, but he must overcome the resentment from his peers and professors first. Magniloquent is the study of... the study of film. The seedy practices of college institutions selling dreams for a high price, and the bushy-tailed student with a laser focus on a career in the elusive film world... free from the tainted reality of the industry.

DOCUMENTARY
TEACH FOR AMERICA
The mission was simple, to tell the plight of the Achievement Gap through the eyes of the young teachers fresh out of college, and the students experiencing it. Tell the story of those who are living in the trenches every day and fighting for the kids who need it most, and the kids struggle to succeed in a society rife with hurdles. What was supposed to be a 3-week trip turned into a 3-month expedition to Houston, where we documented a plethora of schools from all socio-economic regions.
Eventually, we found out Teach for America was putting on a contest and was looking for stories to tell, so we decided to enter. A few weeks later we found out we won! To say we were elated would be an understatement, but there was no time to rest as we were off to the next project in no time.
