We had the good fortune of connecting with Alex Orchilles and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alex, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Most of my family members were always very entrepreneurial – everyone worked for themselves and ran their own businesses. Seeing that throughout my life made me want to do it, as well. As a photographer, video producer, and drone operator, full time jobs are very rare to come across since it’s a freelance based industry, anyways.

On top of that, I love all aspects of the production process from landing the clients in the bidding process, to the development of the ideas in preproduction, and then making all technical choices as far as the cameras, lenses, lights, & gear selection for the project. My favorite part comes next which is the actual production day where we carry out the shoot – be it video production, photography, or drone services, this is the part where we come together as a group with the common goal of creating. After the shoot day we work on the postproduction, aka editing, which is where we use all of the content captured to tell the story and achieve the client’s goal. I honestly love all aspects of this since it allows my team and I to be creative while also reaching the client goals and nailing each brief or shot list to make some really cool stuff.

What should our readers know about your business?
Something I’d like the readers to know about our work at Aon Prestige Media is the fact that we LOVE what we do. We are passionate & driven which is something that ends up showing up in the end result. No matter what kind of client we are working with, we will always show up and give the production our all. Be it a commercial video production, a product photography session, or a set of 5 short form reels – our team always gives it our all.

Something else that I think your readers should know is that we have very competitive pricing for our productions. Typically the general public believes a commercial would cost between $30k-$100k but we can do commercials for a fraction of that cost. We also have great hourly and monthly packages for ongoing projects so we invite you to reach out if interested, we’d love to work with you!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If a friend came to visit, depending on what they’re into, I’d take them to the staples of South Florida such as the beach, downtown Fort Lauderdale, downtown Miami, Wynwood, Little Havana, the everglades, Hard Rock Hotel, Perez Art Museum, Frost Museum, etc.

As a foodie, I would also take them to the following restaurants which are some of my favorites in Broward County – Ichimora for ramen & peking duck, Southport Raw Bar for grilled oysters, 15th Street Fisheries for any type of seafood, Anthony’s Runway 84 for the chicken parm & cacio e pepe, Spaghetto for any homemade pasta, B&D Trap for brisket and ribs, & Bravo Peruvian Cuisine for lomo saltado, ceviche, & pisco sours.

In Miami, I’d recommend Boia De for all of the tapa style dishes, Ichimi for the best ramen in South Florida, Versailles for Cuban food, Cote for Korean BBQ, Uptown 66 for the steak burrito or birria tacos, Kush for the burger, Harry’s Pizzeria for a pizza, & Old Lisbon for their amazing Portuguese dishes.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to shoutout my friend Jhay Osorio who is also a freelance photographer and videographer – he’s one of my go-to crew members for my productions be it commercial production, event capture, or social content creation. He is an amazing person and creative!
