Trevor Finney - Media Curator and Founder of LMTLSS Group

Trevor Finney is a videographer, photographer, media and content curator, and founder of LMTLSS Group. Find out more about him in the interview below.

The following interview with Trevor Finney was conducted by Phil Fazioli on April 8th, 2017 at the Worcester Palladium. The event was called the "Worcester White Out," and it was presented by Sonex DJ Co.

Phil: So you are the founder of LMTLSS. Can you speak on that? What are your plans?

Trevor: LMTLSS is really growing. I like New England, but if LMTLSS really takes off like I know it will, we're going to have to branch out. We're not a promotion company, so we end up having to turn down a lot of gigs like bar events.

In the near future, I see LMTLSS taking me to other parts of the world, such as Europe. We could work on a set of projects over there and I imaging seeing people we don't even know rocking the LMTLSS brand!

Phil: What is something you're working on right now with LMTLSS?

At this point it's all about structure - Our website and our social media need to be fluid so that people know what we're all about and what we're trying to accomplish.

Phil: You and I have worked together before. You filmed our coverage of the Chainsmokers' after party at ICON Nightclub, Boston on December 5th, 2016. Can you recap that night for me? Was that a good experience for you?

Trevor: That was a great experience. So basically, it started up with us going Boston trying to get some B-Roll. We first started off filming outside of the House of Blues (while The Chainsmokers were performing), Lansdowne Street, running in and out of the car while we were stuck in traffic trying to get as many shots and angles as we could. My protege, Ian, was with us too doing work! So after filming up and down Lansdowne we headed over to the after-party spot at ICON. The place was absolutely packed. We filmed the line to get in, the DJs that were spinning and the crowd, and as much of Drew and Alex [The Chainsmokers] as they would allow. I think the footage all came out great, too.

Phil: I'll link the after-movie you guys shot and edited here as well.

Trevor: Awesome

Phil: So how about seeing Rory Kramer that night?

Trevor: Oh my God, yeah! Talk about "behind the scenes" work. Rory Kramer is one of my biggest influences. He would shoot videos on his lake and that would just show people how much fun you can have just from living your life. So essentially, LMTLSS really stemmed from that inspiration. I've been doing video for 3 years now, and in that time I've seen Rory come from filming backyard videos and uploading to Youtube to filming for Avicii - and that Avicii video has something like a hundreds of millions of views now. So when I saw Rory that night, I was more star-struck than when I saw The Chainsmokers...

Phil: That's crazy haha. Is there anything you'd like to add or say to the fans?

Trevor: Just one thing: every day that you wake up is a blessing. Every day that you do wake up, live LMTLSS.
