🎤 Interviews: Highlight your team or clients’ experiences. (Tip: Keep it authentic—skip the script.)
📸 Progress Photos: Showcase milestones. (Tip: Use consistent lighting and angles.)
🦸♂️ Storytelling: Position the CLIENT as the “hero” and you as the “guide”

🎥 Check out our recent work for Meals On Wheels! - The importance of storytelling:
We recently had the privilege of creating a piece for @coalcreekmealsonwheels, focusing on the story of one of their volunteers and clients. The goal here was to provide an authentic, heartfelt look into the lives of people directly impacted by this incredible organization.
We’re huge fans of using video for your organization or brands storytelling. Stories are everything.

Sometimes, the most powerful way to share your mission is through the lens of those who live it!

🎥 Behind the Scenes at CU Boulder’s Alienware Gaming Lounge Launch 🎥
I recently had the honor of creating a video celebrating the creation of a cutting-edge @dell / @alienware gaming lounge at the University of Colorado Boulder @cuboulder 👽

3 Reasons To Create Video For Your Event / Launch:
1️⃣Maximize Reach & Engagement: Capture significantly more eyeballs than the event alone.
2️⃣Boost Brand Visibility: High-quality production creates a high quality vibe - if you’re launching something big, the video content should match that energy.

I recently returned home from an adventure in Mongolia - learning about the ancient traditions of the eagle hunters 🦅 We stayed with these amazing individuals, capturing their way of life, and hearing their stories with the goal of creating a short documentary piece. Check out this little teaser video! 🎥
Mongolia is a vast beautiful country. We got some beautiful shots, but my favorite moments came from the interviews with the eagle hunters themselves.
They had never been interviewed before, and were excited to share their stories and insights into their traditions, way of life, tourism, and more.
This trip reaffirmed my passion for telling stories. Whether it’s a mini doc about the eagle hunters, or a brand story video for a company, storytelling is at the heart of what we do.
Storytelling is the oldest artform, and for a long time was really the only way of passing on information.
Cognitive psychologist Jerome Bruner suggests we are 22 times more likely to remember a fact when it has been wrapped in a story, because stories are memorable. Stories help us grab the gist of an idea quickly.
In branding, storytelling not only captivates but converts. It’s not just about what you do; it’s about the stories you tell.
Stay tuned for a short mini-doc in the coming months that offers a glimpse into the lives of Mongolia’s eagle hunters.
If you’re ready to tell your story and connect with your audience on a profound level, let’s chat.

🎥 What’s it like working with us?
A good client experience is one of the most important things for me. If my clients/talent/crew etc don’t feel comfortable i’m not doing my job.
In this client testimonial, Liz @starfishyoga talks about the experience working with my team and I creating this impactful series for my client The Phoenix @riserecoverlive “Phoenix On Demand”.
Phoenix On Demand is a digital program in the prison system spreading community, mentorship, health & wellness. It is helping hundreds of thousands of inmates across hundreds of institutions.
Check out this video to learn more about the program, as well as a testimonial of what it’s like working with the @travishawkesmedia team.
This whole experience has been an absolute blast, and such an honor to work with the best team on such an impactful project.
I feel lucky that I get to do this for work! A huge thank you to Liz, The Phoenix, and my kick ass crew for making everything possible.
Can’t wait to see where 2024 goes!
