The Broker

Blooper reel. Our actor showed up in the most unusual places so we let him have it at. Scene 86 is a blooper reel.

Captain J takes a hard drag from a cigarette after watching two famous surveyors on board find issues. He is a bit worried about what else they might find and begins to show his anxiety The engine surveyor comes out of the engine department and smells and tastes the oil and signals possible trouble. The suveyors are known to find problems and assess a lower price and Capt J is on edge.

Scene 54 is shot on location in 360 degree video format. The scene shows the buying process of a boat under contract. The actors are directed to negotiate the sale of a boat after a brief sea trial but sense engine trouble. The buyer is directed to ask questions to the seller, and the sell does not have the answers for his own boat. The broker played by R. Lewis Jr. jumps in to save the day!

Scene 12 is set off the coast of Florida with five men on board looking for summer time fun. They leave the girls on the beach and go for 'lot's of air man' in this thrilling high speed excursion aboard a supercharged scarab. Written & Directed R. Lewis Jr.

Director R. Lewis Jr. is on the bow setting up the shot as daylight fades away. As darkness falls, we go inside the engine room and provide a glimpse of the heart and soul of the boat, the engines.

I wanted to share a few scenes that demonstrate the amount of work required to get the shots necessary to build a project.

The script I wrote called for a moored yacht that was in poor condition and resembled a pirate ship, or a ghost ship. After scouting locations for a few weeks, I stumbled upon this vessel. I immediately got in touch with Captain K., and we negotiated our way onto the vessel which included rowing our way on board.

R. Lewis Jr. directs himself as he enters the water to view a hull with the divers. During the filming, R. Lewis Jr. was cut and blood spilled into the water. Out of safety concerns with numerous juvenile bull sharks spotted in the water, the shoot was cut short, but we got the shots we needed.

R. Lewis Jr. is acting and directing in scene 121. This is a live scene filmed on location during the filming of 'The Broker.' I have directed two shots at different stages of the race. The shot on the left is prior to racing and the shot on the right is filmed during a high speed race.
