Peter Marino, Senior Partner and Chief Marketing Officer
Peter Marino is a former fitness entrepeneur with several personal trainer based websites for New York and Connecticut. Having been self employed from 1995 onward as a personal trainer Peter directed a unique kids fitness DVD in 2007 entitled Fantastically Fit Kids™ which was awarded 'Best Instructional Documentary' in 2008 by the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival. He also gave many fitness and nutrition presentations for large companies such as Morgan Stanley, IBM, Alliance Bernstein and the Hotel Union of New York. This experience enabled him to understand the corporate setting and gave him the know how for future public speaking engagements.
Through the years Peter learned how to market, design and and coordinate many aspects of business in order to thrive in an already saturated market. While taking courses in marketing and design for hisfitness business he formed a genuine love for it. Since Peter understood he could not be an expert in everything many services had to be outsourced to exceptional designers and marketers for his fitness business to thrive. In the process he was unknowingly forming an elite team of outsourced individuals. Each individual he encountered had a special talent for their respective field.
In 2008 Peter decided to gather all of these individuals together to form one of the best teams any media and design agency has ever formed. The key difference with reelWebDesign.com is that our team consists entirely of freelancers which can work from home and/or keep their current businesses. In doing so we have cut down the cost of doing business drastically and are able to provide the best work for the smallest budget to small businesses.
Peter is available for small business presentations/workshops on search engine optimization (SEO), in house web design, and performing in house public relations on a shoestring budget. Peter currently resides in Westchester New York with his wife and son and can be contaced directly at: peter@reelWebDesign.com.
Peter Gonzalez, Partner and Video Producer/Editor
Peter Gonzalez is an Academy and Emmy award nominated video editor. Peter began studying at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 1989 as a Mechanical Engineering major but after two years of Calculus and Physics studies, Peter changed majors due to the closing of Pratt's 100 plus year engineering school. Uncertain about continuing a engineering career, Peter looked inward and decided to stay at Pratt and became a Film and Video major.
During his new studies at Pratt, Peter was keenly aware of the difficulties of attaining work in the film business and made a point to get involved in the workplace before graduating. Cinematography and editing were two favorite areas in the filmmaking process that Peter enjoyed and he made a point to further his knowledge of these areas through the positions he took on in his internship ventures. But what gave him the impetus to focus more so on editing, was the lack of hands-on training of the computer-based non-linear editing process at Pratt that was emerging in the industry. What helped him immensely in getting experience was an internship at a well known New York based post-production facility called VALHKN during his last semester. In the first weeks at the new internship, Peter took advantage of the 24 hour access to the facility and the equipment to help him finish editing his senior film project just in time for the student film festival.
Peter worked as an Assistant Editor at VALKHN and played a major role in installing new Avid workstations. Within a years time, the break of his career came when he got to work with a visiting senior editor, Sam Pollard, who had also began his career at the facility. Sam Pollard, a highly acclaimed editor and producer, who is one of Spike Lee's preferred film editors, had asked if Peter could work outside VALKHN at Spike's company, 40 Acres and a Mule in Brooklyn, New York. In less than a months time as an assistant editor, Peter was given the opportunity to cut for Sam on an a HBO Real Sports episode and had impressed the veteran editor. In late summer of 1996, upon completing the HBO sports piece, Sam had asked Peter to join him as an Associate Editor in editing a documentary he was producing for Spike; this would be a role in which he would be given much more responsibility and creative control - editing for both Sam and Spike Lee. '4 Little Girls', Spike Lee's first documentary, evolved to a feature length documentary by early 1997 and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Length Documentary and also nominated for an Emmy for Best Picture Editing. In March of 1997, Peter, along with Spike Lee, Sam Pollard and others involved attended the 70th Annual Academy Awards ceremony.
After completing work with Sam and Spike, Peter continued his career working as a freelance editor primarily on documentary projects for independent filmmakers, such as Amy Chen's “The Chinatown Files”. He has also edited a Feature Length Documentary for HBO Sports “Dare to Compete: The Struggle of Women in Sports” which was first premiered at the White House during the Clinton administration. Also, Peter worked closely with actor Delory Lindo on a broadcast interview with Spike Lee for Bravo/IFC.
Other areas of editing Peter is versed in range from corporate, promotional and educational projects for various companies such as Pfizer Inc, Lehman Brothers and NYC Administration for Children's Services and the United States Tennis Association. In the summer of 2008, Peter began working as a Producer and Editor at the New York office of LATV for their broadcast programs American Latino TV and LatiNation . In his position as a Preditor, Peter researched stories about accomplished and outstanding American and foreign born Latinos, and has been involved with the production and editing of more than 70 magazine style segments for the nationally broadcasted television programs.
Peter also teaches AVID non-linear editing and documentary filmmaking classes at The Art institute of New York. Peter currently resides with his wife and two kids in Brooklyn New York.
