Cory Pampalone’s Experience

• Director/Editor/Storyteller

  Strange Red Films

  (Motion Pictures and Film industry)

  April 2009 — Present (8 months)

  Strange Red Films is a story driven production and editing entity specializing in cinema craft, commercial, music video, and advertising with an acute knowledge of how the powerful medium of storytelling can effectively communicate in an increasing internet and digital age.
  Anyone can shoot a video and post it to the web these days, but true filmmaking and storytelling goes far beyond this general ability. Truth has to be sought diligently. We are a passionate breed that have spent a lifetime understanding and applying their love of art and communication across all forms. SRF is persistently looking to the next, utilizing the current, and understanding the past to employ the most authentic and unique aesthetic to tell the most effective possible story with the most knowledgeable minds in the sphere of filmmaking, design and advertising to consult, execute and implement any project or challenge.
  
  Short films. Music videos. Commercials. Viral campaigns. Motion graphics. Pitches. Testimonials. Video installations. Social media. Narrative, abstract or experimental video. Any possible environment you can fathom to tell your story, SRF has the talent to understand the ifs, whys, and hows it should be done.
  
  SRF is more than just task oriented creativity…it is philosophy and critical thinking. Most importantly, it is honesty.
