The Creator & History of Billy Senia

Who he is today?

Billy Senia at a very young age was an athletic, funny, big personality guy, & even got the best looking superlative in his high school class. Started from doodling on tables to messing around with classic videoing on his camera.

As the years grew, he realized film, movies, commercials and creating them was something he wanted to do. And frankly, knew he would kill it! He decided to go to film school all the way in Hawaii! At the University of Hawaii at Manoa for 2 years and Baruch in New York. Came back to New York to live the dream and start the action!

Senia began his editorial career in New York at First Edition and over the years has cut a variety of high profile spots for top agencies such as BBDO, McCann Erickson, Grey, J.Walter Thompson and O&M. He’s traveled the world, won countless awards, and worked with clients like Michael Jackson, MC Hammer and Aretha Franklin. Not to mention he has worked on accounts with Bulova, David’s Bridal, Sears, Club Med, Disney, to name a few.

Started a beautiful family during all this, amazing wife with 3 beautiful, inspiring, uplifting daughters. Yes, 3 daughters! But not only has Billy Senia been behind the camera, producing, & filming and doing voiceovers being a respected, talented editor… he even started fooling around in front of the camera. How can a big personality /creatively insane human not be in front of the camera? Even filmed & produced himself his own short film, LIKENESS.

Documentaries and projects

Senia has written and directed some other projects as well. A documentary featuring a Prodigy Rock & Roll Band Avalanche “The Road Less Traveled.” Videos for Connecticut Innovations, Teledyne Lecroy and “Likeness” which was the recipient of the New York International Film & Video Award. He is also a member of SAG & AFTRA.

Being in front of the camera has been definitely an eye opener. Want to show the world what not only Billy can do, but what others can do. Never stop accomplishing and trying new things, you will never know what new hobbies you can find yourself doing and creating!

Doesn’t stop here! Twenty years ago, Billy opened his own one-stop shop: Ice Pic Edit. Ice Pic Edit was his business that thrived through top commercials Billy had produced over the years. Even built his second home studio here in New York City. He was innovative, turning his laptop into a “Maserati” that he took everywhere.

Not long ago, he opened an Agency called Massiv. One of his first projects is “Union-Built Matters.” It’s a tribute to construction unions, and sounds an alarm against developers who cut corners by using cheaper labor. Billy is a union man through and through. “My compassionate side is to help people,” he says. “This is not a sexy subject, but it is very important.”

Wait there’s more!

On the side today he works as an Assistant manager at funeral home to help people during these times. You can ask yourself how is that creative at all from what Billy has done in the past? Well let me tell you, he surely found a way. Ones that have passed and could not have a ceremony or gathering during these times. Billy, thrives on making people’s days brighter, with just a simply smile. His main priority gave him the energy that feeds his creative side. So Billy decided to produce ways virtually through zoom, facebook, Instagram and all other media’s to make these families feel together, warm, and whole. Billy celebrated their lives with videos & collages he produced of their memories. Now, who’s doing that?
