Filmed and produced the pitch that propelled Better Packaging Co. to Ocean Impact Pitchfest 2022 Finalist, spotlighting Pollast!c—the world’s first mailing satchel made from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic that cleans up the environment while breaking the cycle of poverty and plastic pollution.

Video & Production

“We had an amazing experience working with Phil on our video project for Better Packaging Co. Phil’s approach to filming made everyone feel at ease and comfortable — much needed when you’re in front of the camera. He was able to capture the essence of our company and our message and we loved the final video. He was also extremely flexible and accommodating, which made the whole process a breeze and stress-free. I highly recommend Phil for any video production needs and look forward to working with him again in the future.”
