When Álban Communications and The Spear Group commissioned us to do a project about Normandy Isle and Iris On The Bay, we, again, got immediately excited. Why? Because Normandy Isle is our neighborhood, our home. We also immediately understood why Álban Communications and The Spear Group wanted to do a film about Normandy Isle. It is a little secret in the middle of Miami Beach with a 5 minute drive to the beach and without the commotion of an urban area like South Beach, it is truly a great place to live. Yet no one really knows of the location.
While making this film, I fell in love with this neighborhood even more. The sunsets & sunrises we filmed are just amazing to watch at all points around the island, and everyone who took part in the project from the Miami Beach Commissioner to the local restauranteurs were really inviting.
It was also great to hear from Miami Beach’s leadership about the progress of the area. From the President of the Miami Beach Chamber to the Captain of The Miami Beach Police, it was an informative day.
And I can’t forget about the amazing 3D renderings of Iris On The Bay created by Metrostudio.
“They were resourceful, professional, accommodating and maintained a positive attitude throughout our engagement.”
