Videos

I have written, designed, directed, filmed, edited, and produced over 100 videos. Almost all of them were for one of the non-profit organizations for which I was the CEO at the time. The content varied based on whether it was a live event, political testimony, speech, media interview, member promotion, or some combination thereof. I am featured prominently in many of the videos; but, not all. In the videos in which I am not on screen, I wrote the script, directed, then performed all of the behind-the-camera and behind-the-scenes functions to bring it to the screen.  

My favorite videos are found below, grouped into the following categories.

Political Advocacy

Christian D. Malesic, MBA, CAE, IOM, President / CEO of the Melbourne Regional Chamber, testifies before the Florida House of Representatives Commerce Committee on March 30th, 2017. That day, the Commerce Committee convened for a one-item agenda. The Florida Senate had passed a Gaming Bill the prior week which allowed "referendum counties" to have Gaming in their counties. Would the Florida House do the same? Would Floridian counties, whose citizens welcomed Gaming by democratic referendum, be permitted to do so? Or, would the "Seminole Compact" prevail, allowing only the Seminole Tribe to offer Gaming for the next 20 years?
