3 generations behind a camera.

My grandfather began his career documenting Pearl Harbor (pre-bombing) and was the first photographer in history to document Mob activity in New York in the 50’s. My Father followed suit doing wedding photography in the film days. Naturally, everything within me was moving me to tell stories through cinematic video production. I didn’t fight it.

 

The business was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 2008 when someone asked me to create a video for their new business when I was out randomly playing with a new camera. Since then, we’ve assembled an incredible team of talented creators. Our latest work has been with companies such as Linux, Bloomberg, Apple, Mercedes Benz, Netflix and Squarespace.
