RICK DOUGLAS
Founding Member - Editor & Cinematographer
Rick's communications journey began as an art director in traditional ad agencies and design firms in Tennessee and North Carolina. "I quickly realized my love of photography and cinematography and how that's evolved to shooting and cutting video." Rick's a natural storyteller who's fascinated with all the digital tools that can bring a story to life. "It's amazing how we have everything Hollywood has to shoot a great story and make it look like we needed millions of dollars to finish it.”

MIKE FOLEY
Director/Producer & Idea Guy
Mike's all about your brand: the strategy, concepts and creating campaigns that connect with your audience. Whether it's writing a tagline or drawing up a storyboard, Mike has a magic about telling your story, no matter what the platform.
