Gernhard has also helped spotlight Connecticut tourism and local businesses through productions, collaborations, and entertainment-related initiatives, including projects tied to the Connecticut Christmas Movie Trail and other tourism-driven entertainment experiences. His work frequently highlights boutique hotels, restaurants, historic towns, scenic destinations, and local culture while showcasing Connecticut as a world-class production destination.
Today, Andrew continues to develop film, television, tourism, and digital media projects through Synthetic Cinema International while expanding Synthetic Chats into a larger entertainment and lifestyle storytelling brand.
Pricing
Every project is a little different, so pricing depends on the type of collaboration, the amount of content involved, travel, and overall scope. I’m open to working on everything from tourism and travel campaigns to restaurants, entertainment projects, events, behind-the-scenes features, and branded storytelling through Synthetic Chats and Sythetic Cinema International.
I’m always happy to discuss custom ideas and find something that makes sense for both sides, especially for Connecticut-based businesses, tourism organizations, hospitality groups, and entertainment-related partnerships.
