Original Video Upload Link: https://vimeo.com/69394786 In March of 2013, Variable was commissioned by Edelman to produce four mini-documentary films along with the print advertisements for Pfizer's cause-driven campaign; "Get Old". The purpose of the campaign is to spread positive awareness on aging by showcasing stories that break the mold of the negative pre-conceived notions surrounding the topic. As a team of ambitious young creatives, we thoroughly grasp these negative connotations so we were thrilled to put our energy into a campaign message that we truly believe in. The first of four films features Hy Snell, an energetic and awe-inspiring gentleman. When asked how he felt about aging, Hy couldn't even comprehend why we were interested in the topic. It was as if "age" didn't even exist in his world. For Hy, "age" has had nothing to do with his joy and contentment in life. His immense passion for creating artwork has kept him moving forward without looking back for over seven decades despite his ongoing battle with failing eyesight. At 94 years-old and a dwindling 5% of his eyesight remaining, Hy continues to find inspiration due to the fact that he is literally seeing things differently every day. This fact spoke volumes to us since it is relatable on so many levels. In summary, Hy truly is a living testament who proves that each road block, as tough as it may seem at the time, can provide tremendous opportunity for growth and prosperity. -- Production Company | Post Production | Creative Collective: Variable Director | Editor: Jonathan Bregel Executive Producer: Tyler Ginter Producer: Alex Friedman Production Supervisor: Paige DeMarco Production Coordinator: Alexandra Van Voorst van Beest Cinematographer: Khalid Mohtaseb & Jonathan Bregel Art Director: Joseph Sciacca 1st AC | DIT : Dan Stewart Sound Mixer: Anthony Viera Assistant Editors: Dan Stewart, Jeff Levine Motion Graphics: Maha Mohtaseb Creative Assistants: Ashley Horton, Michelle Brooks, Dotsie Bregel Client: Pfizer Agency: Edelman Creative Development & Casting: Edelman & Variable Executive Creative Director: Jimmie Stone Executive Producer: TJ Sponzo Copy Supervisor: Kristen Dietrich Original Score: Keith Kenniff Unseen Music, 2013 | unseen-music.com Sound Mix & Design: Brooklyn Post Studio brooklyn-post.com -- WeAreVariable.com hello@WeAreVariable.com

Original Vimeo link: https://vimeo.com/47265755 This mini-doc shares the story of Władysław Tomczyk, a gentleman we unexpectedly met in Katowice, Poland after wrapping a month-long commercial project throughout Europe. His hopeful message of creating life-work by honing one's natural ability is one we value to the core at Variable. What began as an insightful conversation, motivated us to extend our trip by 3 days so we could capture this inspiring man's life. With no pre-developed story or shot-list, we let our curiosity & conversations with Wladyslaw guide the film. As a result, his outlook on life furthered our belief that contentment through self-acceptance trumps societal approval. Free your mind. -- Production Company: Variable Directors / Cinematographers: Jonathan Bregel & Khalid Mohtaseb Producer: Tyler Ginter Art Director: Joseph Sciacca Local Coordinator & Translator: Piotr Labercheck Editorial & Color Grade: Salomon Ligthelm - ligthelm.tv Original Score & Sound Design: Tony Anderson - tonyandersonmusic.com Post Story Producer: Susan Modaress Polish Translators: Sophia Whitman & Arkadiusz Lesniak -- WeAreVariable.com hello@WeAreVariable.com
