Your Austin Brand Doesn't Need Another "Pretty Video."

Let's be real. In a city as crowded with talent and ambition as Austin, "pretty" is table stakes. You can throw a rock on South Congress and hit three people who can make a slick-looking video.

But you're not just trying to look good. You're trying to move the needle. You're fighting to hire the best talent away from the giants at the Domain, you're trying to shorten your sales cycle, you're trying to land that next round of funding.

And a "pretty video" from a vendor who just talks about their 4K camera isn't going to solve any of that.

Frankly, it's an expensive distraction.

The Vendor vs. The Partner

You've probably already had this experience. You put out a call for a "brand video," and your inbox fills with quotes. They're all about day rates, gear lists, and revision rounds. They're selling you the container, the deliverable. They're positioning themselves as a pair of hands—a human tripod.

My guess is, that's not what you're looking for.

You're looking for a strategic partner. Someone who starts by asking, "What's the business problem we're actually trying to solve here?" before they ever mention a camera.

• Are we trying to build trust so our sales team can close bigger deals, faster?

• Are we trying to tell our origin story so we can attract engineers who care about our mission, not just a paycheck?

• Are we trying to simplify our complex SaaS product so a potential customer "gets it" in 90 seconds?

See the difference? One is a task. The other is an outcome.

Before We Roll a Single Frame, We Build the Blueprint

This is why my process is different. I don't start with a quote; I start with a conversation. A Storyfinding Session.

It's a collaborative deep dive where we get clear on the one thing that matters: What change are we trying to create?

We'll map out the story that actually drives that change using a framework that works. We'll define the audience, the core conflict, and the feeling we need to leave people with. We're not just making a video; we're engineering a specific emotional and business result.

Only after we have that strategic blueprint do we talk about what it will look like.

This approach means you're not just buying a video. You're investing in a strategic asset that works for you 24/7, long after we've wrapped the shoot. It's the difference between a vitamin and a painkiller for your business.

Let's Find Your Story.

If you're just looking for a camera operator to execute a pre-written script, I'm probably not your guy, and I'm happy to point you to some talented folks who are.

But if you're looking for a thinking partner to help you translate your business goals into a powerful story that actually connects with people—let's talk.

How about this: no pitch, no pressure. Just a 15-minute call to hear what you're working on. If I think I can help, I'll tell you how. If not, I'll be the first to say so.

Your story is your most powerful asset. Let's build it right.
