DOG DOES TRICKS COMMERCIAL and TV PRODUCTION

12/05/2025

Here’s a snap shot of some of the work we produced in 2025. From tv campaigns to community focused stories and brand-building content across multiple sectors.

Grateful for the collaborations this year, on the ongoing relationships I have with my dedicated clients and looking forward to new ideas, new partnerships, and even bigger creative wins in 2026.

Here’s a look at a few highlights

Some of our work completed in 2025

This is one of the most impactful and personal stories I have produced for “See life through my eyes” as it deals with a sickness that has not only impacted a few of my friends’ lives including Lorraine, but has also taken the life of one of my closest friends.

For the many who have survived Cancer they deserve any and every platform to share their story.

Hopefully I have captured the essence of Lorraine, a survivor with a story to tell, who is straight to the point yet with an honesty and vunerability about her that is truly endearing and wonderful.

This is Lorraine Wilson’s story, a bright light and an inspiration to all of those battling cancer

For all you wine lovers ( and I know there are a lot of you on here:) this story is worth watching.

Michael Traynor once the youngest winemaker in Canada is the owner of Traynor Family Vineyard in Prince Edward County. I had the pleasure of going up there and filming his story.

His winemaking is unique as he’s not afraid to experiment with his blends! And his story on how he started it all?… Inspirational. Take a look.

Thanks to Jeff Gruen for the contact as well as helping out on the day, and thanks also to Simone Vitellaro for project managing & Ryan Estwick for being a great cousin who shows up whenever asked!

And a special thanks to Michael Traynor for allowing me to tell your story!

I started this passion project the beginning of June of 2021 (For Eat Sake) as my way of supporting small businesses specifically restaurants/bars/ eateries who have been hit hard during the lockdowns.

I’ll be honest, it has sometimes been a bit challenging financing and producing these shorts, but with the support of my small, hardworking and loyal team Simone Vitellaro (my project manager) Mike Palozzi (post audio editor), we’ve managed to keep pushing them out on a monthly basis.

I’m committed to sharing these videos because It’s not just about what’s on the menu it’s also about their story, often times immigrants who came to this great country with a dream, and through hard work and dedication continue to realise that dream even during these trying times. A story that certainly resonates with me as I too came to this country by myself at 19, with a similar dream.

And it all pays off when I go to a restaurant (happened a couple weeks ago) and I’m told by the beaming restaurant owner that it’s because of the video promotions that there has been an upswing in customers. That truly warms my heart and makes me see the real worth in getting these stories out.

I will continue to donate my time filming and editing these wonderful stories and more importantly I will continue to celebrate the resilience of hard working immigrants who now call Canada home .
