Brand video · Washington DC
Brand video production in DC that people watch to the end
Promos, founder stories, product films and vertical cuts for social. Videos I’ve produced have passed 200 million views, and I plan each one before the camera comes out.
Based in the DMV, available to travel. Serving Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia, including Herndon, Sterling, Fairfax and Arlington.
Studio productions, cafe content shoots and brand activations, all real client work. The films themselves are on the homepage, ready to play.
The approach
I plan before I film
Before I film anything, I ask you three questions: who is this for, what should they do after watching, and where will they see it? Your answers shape the script, the locations and the edit.
Then I make one shoot day count. I film interviews, b-roll of your team and space, and product details once, then cut them many ways. You get a hero film for your website and a set of vertical cuts for Instagram and TikTok, because people scroll past a 90-second landscape film in a feed.
I’ve produced series, trailers and promos for the ADAMS Center and Sapience Institute. They reach a wide audience because I cut each one for the platform it runs on. Small teams get the same process: one focused production and footage you can post for months.

How it works
Three steps from idea to launch
The shoot day

Edit & launch
First cut in about two weeks. We refine it together, then the final films and vertical cuts arrive ready to publish.
Questions teams ask
Brand video FAQ
How long does a brand video project take?
Most projects run three to five weeks from the strategy call to final delivery: about a week of planning, one shoot day, then roughly two weeks of editing with your feedback in the middle. Launching something on a deadline? Tell me the date and I’ll work backwards from it.
Nobody on our team has been on camera before. Will it look awkward?
This is the most common worry, and it’s the easiest to fix. I interview people conversationally, with no teleprompter and no memorized lines, then cut the best moments together. The people who dread it most usually end up looking the most natural.
Do we own the video? Can we run it as an ad?
Yes and yes. Every project includes full commercial usage rights, and the music is licensed for commercial use, so you can run the films on your site, socials and paid campaigns without extra fees or renewals.
Can you keep making content for us every month?
Yes. You can start with one brand film and move to a monthly retainer: a recurring shoot day plus a steady stream of short-form cuts. We can plan it around your goals on the first call.
