Great stories leave a lasting impression. They enrapture us, transport us and even change us. To tell this kind of story requires digging deeper into the subject matter. See how creators Remy Brand and Dane Isaac found more meaningful, but not typical, ways to connect to the people and world around them using their Samsung devices.
Immerse yourself in natural landscapes
"Cold Water Therapy" by Remy Brand
Remy Brand wanted to rekindle his love for nature. As he grew older, he had turned his attention to career pursuits rather than his passion for surfing. Looking for change, he Googled, “Can you surf in Alaska?” When he saw that the answer was yes, he knew an adventure of a lifetime was calling.
“We don’t often make time for the things we are truly passionate about.”
Remy Brand, Filmmaker
“Cold Water Therapy” by Remy Brand
For his documentary, Cold Water Therapy, Remy needed a reliable storytelling machine. After bundling up, he reached for his Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G.* “I loved the image that the S20 produces,” he explains. “The colors and sharpness are incredible for a mobile phone.” Surfing Alaskan waves that had never been ridden or named, he says, “Manual focus was something I relied on frequently, as well as the ability to control shutter speed.”
“How do I make it different from anything else I’ve seen?”
Remy Brand, Filmmaker
The magical landscape photos of wave riding only told part of the story. To fully explore deeper themes, Remy offers this tip, “Break it down to its simplest form. Ask yourself, what is the story that I want to convey? Who are the protagonists? Will people relate?”
Tell a deeper story with a documentary
Connect with strangers
“Connecting While Disconnected” by Dane Isaac
The Covid-19 lockdown introduced a new level of isolation to much of the world’s population. It was in this moment that Dane Isaac found a passion in capturing the voice of a quarantined nation. As the country simultaneously faced a pandemic and a call for social change, Dane believed that divided communities still shared a common bond: care and love.
“In quarantine, the urge to connect with my immediate and distant community kept growing.”

“Connecting While Disconnected” by Dane Isaac
It took tearing down walls for people to open up in Dane’s interview series, Connecting While Disconnected. With a background in portrait photography, Dane set an emotional stage to help people share their collective story using a conversational setting, black and white photography and video testimonials. Then Dane turned to Samsung and his Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G to tackle filming as a first-time director.
“My equipment served as tools to capture the stories, bridging connections through technology.”

When Dane needed to capture lighting in a bottle, he counted on Pro Mode, explaining, “It gives so much control and you are able to produce some magical content”.
