I've been incredibly lucky to have worked with some incredible clients during my career to produce some of the best videos in Oregon.
I'm an independent filmmaker who spent 8.5 years of my 15-year career as the producer, director, and post-production supervisor/online editor for the Motortrend / Discovery show "Graveyard Carz."
During my tenure, I focused on generating high-quality content on the smallest feasible budget. This was accomplished through collaboration with the series creator and the network to develop dramatic and character-driven storylines while leveraging sponsorships and employing prosumer gear such as DSLRs.
I started A Video Maker LLC in 2021 after retiring from Graveyard Carz after my first son’s birth. Since then I’ve worked with several clients across 150 small-to-large-scale video projects.
Working directly with entrepreneur videographers who want to double their projects and business owners, I've built a reputation for delivering best-in-class video producing and video editing.
I transferred all I learned from creating my own amusing short films to my passion of offering services like directing, video editing, and visual effects to local professionals, businesses, and creatives.
I provided strong and collaborative leadership for the reality-tv show - achieving the production and post-production teams goal to deliver its second-season on time and within budget.
This resulted in "Graveyard Carz" receiving record-breaking ratings due to my passionate and intuitive creative direction. This resulted in six series renewals, 142 episodes I personally planned and executed, and 90% increase in gross profits for the production company during my tenure.
After the birth of my son in 2020, I made the decision to share my passion and expertise with both Oregonians and businesses. Since then, I've collaborated with filmmakers, entrepreneurs, corporations, and creative agencies to generate economical, hassle-free, high-quality video.
I'm known for being passionate about my work and for following my instincts, which are fueled by research and data. I'm always pushing my creative boundaries and experimenting with new technologies and marketing trends.
And I've been obsessed with using video to help independent professionals and businesses boost exposure, establish trust, and drive sales for over a decade. I've even launched a newsletter where I share what I've learned on a weekly basis.
