Video Production
Keystone Films is a full-service production house, offering location production, editing, animation, script writing, post-production and more.
Through the years, we’ve worked with clients from many industries. These days, however, our focus is an area we know extremely well: the horse racing and breeding industries. Centering our efforts here helps us achieve hugely successful results for these clients.
Video Production Portfolio
Advocacy Video, PA Standardbred Breeding
DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, EDITOR
Pennsylvania is the pre-eminent state, by far, for standardbred breeding. Our client, the Standardbred Breeders Association of PA, asked us to craft a message which underscored the state's position atop the industry, while also highlighting the significant job creation resulting from a vibrant standardbred breeding industry. Keystone Films maximized our client's budget by producing 3 different shoots at 3 different farms in 1 day. This video airs on regional harness racing telecasts as well as on the Standardbred Breeders' social media platforms and website
Salute to Smarty Jones
PRODUCER, WRITER, EDITOR
The PA Horse Breeders Association asked us to produce this video for their annual banquet, honoring the 20-year anniversary of the iconic PA-Bred, Smarty Jones, winning the 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness.
Penn National 50-year history tribute
PRODUCER, EDITOR, LOCATION PRODUCER/DIRECTOR
Penn National Race Course asked us to produce this tribute video, in celebration of the 50-year anniversary of racing at Penn National.
The Life and Career of a Pennsylvania-Bred
PRODUCER, EDITOR, LOCATION PRODUCER/DIRECTOR
Our friends at the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association (PHBA) asked for a video tracing a horse's life and career from the time the mare is in foal, through the horse being sold at auction, to the first time the horse wins a race, to the horse entering one of Pennsylvania's renowned aftercare programs. The video also emphasizes, at every step along the way, the many advantages to that horse being a Pennsylvania-Bred.
Magic City Jai-Alai Player Promo
WRITER, EDITOR, LOCATION PRODUCER/DIRECTOR
Miami's Magic City Jai-Alai revolutionized the sport when it introduced the "Head to Head" (H2H) format, designed to make the game more understandable for sports bettors. We were hired to produce individual 2:00 - 3:00 segments on each of Magic City's 18 players, which would then be featured on the BetRivers wagering sites nationwide. These pieces are designed to convey each player's unique personality, as well as introduce H2H play to the wagering audience.
:30 National Television Commercial, "Race Lens"
WRITER, PRODUCER, EDITOR
Our clients at Equibase renamed their "Race Lens" handicapping product, and wanted a :30 commercial to re-introduce the brand and its many valuable features. Keystone Films was fortunate to get legendary racing announcer Tom Durkin to narrate the spot, which airs nationally within live racing coverage on NBC/Peacock, CNBC and TVG Network.
Instructional Video "How To Bet"
DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, WRITER, EDITOR
Along with our clients (Pennsylvania HBPA and Penn National Race Course), we realized there was a real need to produce this sort of video designed to demystify the wagering process for new, younger fans.
