I recently shot this intimate concert for the Westminster Town Hall Forum and had the pleasure of being introduced to another amazingly talented local artist, Thomasina Petrus. Not only does she have a powerful and rich voice, she also makes cashew brittle!

She was joined by two other Midwest music legends, Walter Chancellor Jr. and West, who worked the saxophone and piano respectively. Keeping the beat going strong were Nathan Norman and Graydon Peterson on the drums and bass.

Songs:
- Strange Fruit/Northern Streets
- (To be) Young, Gifted and Black
- Blowin' in the Wind

This video is an introductory to the North Park School For Innovation in Columbia Heights, MN.

The school won the prestigious Green Ribbon Award for its sustainability efforts in 2018. It is the only school in the United States to house a bio-digester, a device that takes waste and converts it into soil for the school's edible gardens.

The school has made great efforts to turn its focus toward Sustainability, Creativity and STEM education. The goal is to prepare students for jobs that do not exist yet, and give them the skills to be flexible thinkers and learners.

Thank you for hiring me to put this together, Columbia Heights Public Schools!

Woohoo! Passed the Part 107 recurrent test with a 100%! Guess this means I can keep flying drones commercially, Federal Aviation Administration? 😉

Here's a quick drone reel of people, places and things I shot from 2018-2020.

If you're looking for a licensed drone pilot to work with, please contact me!

As a reminder, do not fly a drone commercially without a Part 107 licensed pilot.

If caught flying carelesly or recklessly, the FAA could fine you up to $27,500 for civil penalties and/or up to $250,000 for criminal penalties, and you could see some jail time.

Fly legally, fly safe.

The idea I teased a couple months ago has finally come together...

Presenting Virtual Business Cards!

These 1-minute videos showcase a business and can be quickly used to network while also providing key contact information.

- Affordable.
- Quick-to-plan-and-produce.
- Adds a business owner's personal touch and voice.
- Reinforces a business' brand.
- Effective for websites, social media, email signatures and in-store displays.
- Allows you to network 24/7/365, worldwide!

This pandemic means virtual networking is the new norm. Rather than waste money on printed cards that collect dust off your desk -- Save your money while creating something meaningful!

Check out this one on Explore Edina and find more at: www.dietrichnissen.com/commercial

This video was created for the Rotary Club of Edina as a fundraising tool at their annual gala. These type of videos are effective at showcasing an organization's volunteer work, partnerships, and how it chooses to implement its stated beliefs. The best part is that you can segment and create quicker, more consumable versions afterwards too!

Hi, everyone! Dietrich Nissen, here. Thank you for liking this page and providing your support!

Given the long-term impact of COVID-19 on Inherited Stories, I've decided to start branching out and am publicly offering video production services to other businesses, non-profits, local governments, and school districts.

I know a lot of people are looking for ways to connect and market virtually, and having well-made videos is a key component of that challenge. I am also able to help people set up a well-lit, in-home studio for those Zoom calls we're all practicing these days.

Additionally, I'd like to encourage you to reach out even if you don't think my skill set is a fit for your needs. I know a lot of other talented creatives in the Twin Cities are hurting right now and could use business; most notably, wedding, concert and sports highlight video producers!

It's crucial we find ways to keep those folks around and their skill sets alive, and I would be honored to make those connections for you should you need them!

Thanks again! :)
