“This company was a happy accident…

Education and experience is the foundation of my creative technique. Learning from credible educators has provided me the resources and knowledge I need to interpret my artistic vision. Although I’ve been working in the film industry for a short time (five years), I find so much value in the experiences I’ve had. Artists often view their work as a reflection of the life they have lived. It can be difficult sometimes for me to draw the line between personal and professional life. Art is an expression. No matter how much I want to protect the artwork I create, I am not in control of the public’s perception of my work.

Working in this industry has taught me how to love the work I do, respect the process, and ultimately create work that resonates. This work is a reflection of personal experiences that I find valuable to me. The public may not understand the value of my work without learning the historical context from which it was created. My career has been incredibly rewarding and still won’t please every audience. Learning this has helped me become comfortable with making mistakes and creating without fear of expressing myself.

In 2017, I saw the entire industry of Film, Video, and Media Production to be nothing more than a hobby. Being 17 at the time, I was shooting with my parent’s DSLR camera and building makeshift videos with my friends. I was inspired by members of the ASC and obsessed with what movies they’d work on. I was working at a fast food restaurant while attending high school online. I’d pick up new techniques with my camera during lunch breaks.

My fascination with visual storytelling grew quickly. I jokingly shot a short “commercial” (if you want to call it that) for a colleague. My urge to “do better” quickly turned into an addiction to “do the best.” When I turned 18 years old, I quit my fast food jobs and began freelancing full time. I accidentally became addicted to the art of film.

Today, I’m the owner of two Film & Video Production companies currently based in Charlotte, North Carolina. These agencies supply high-end production services from pre-production to post-production for clients internationally. Within two years (2020), my team and I had collaborated on over 250 Productions in Europe, Asia, and North America. We’ve had the honor to represent clients such as Google, Disney, Dreamville, GK Hair, Lingodeer, and a variety of other top-rated Agencies and Corporations.

My business is founded on creating art that resonates. Creating “Magic” that makes people feel by way of visual elements and sound. We build teams that feel like family, and I’m stronger because of it. I’m stronger because I have the opportunity to work with a diverse community of creators and tell their stories through the creative process. The crew and I spend hours on set working to illustrate something that resonates… that makes people feel. We’ve run take after take to get a final product that fits the Director’s vision. I’m grateful for the opportunity to create new ideas, resonate, and connect with others through the work we do.

The collaborations, energy, and powerful stories continue to drive innovation. This job is truly the most magical experience for the creators and audience combined.”
