Hi, I’m Michael.
I’m a Colorado-based content and video producer and storyteller with over a decade of experience producing cinematic, story-driven video across commercial, social, and live environments. I specialize in end-to-end production — from concept and shooting through post-production and delivery — with a focus on short-form storytelling and real-world execution.
My work spans documentary-style filmmaking, branded content, and high-performing vertical video for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. I’m hands-on with tools including Adobe Premier/Creative Suite, CapCut, and OBS Studio for live streaming, and I integrate AI tools such as Runway, Veed, Chat GPT and Topaz to accelerate ideation and post-production workflows.
I’m known for working comfortably in uncontrolled environments, directing non-actors, and translating abstract ideas into clear, emotionally resonant visuals — while balancing creative standards with speed, strategy, and business goals.

🎒Product Video & Social Campaigns
I’ve partnered with Dime Bags, a lifestyle brand known for its eco-friendly hemp-blend fanny packs, backpacks, duffels, and accessories, to produce engaging visual content that showcases their products’ personality and purpose. Over the years, I’ve helped shape their online presence through video storytelling — from promotional campaigns to product education.
dimebags Naturals Lineup
I directed and edited a video series for their “Naturals” lineup, creating explainer videos for their website, Amazon storefront, and product pages, as well as lifestyle videos for social media designed to highlight texture, craftsmanship, and brand ethos. Each piece was crafted to connect with Dime Bags’ audience in a way that felt both stylish and authentic.
FILMS ABOUT LOVE
Mini Wedding Docs 🎬
Films About Love is the foundation of my career as a filmmaker. I built and operated the company from the ground up, creating cinematic, documentary-style wedding films for more than 350 couples over the course of 13+ years.
At its core, the work was never about weddings — it was about people, emotion, and story. Each film was treated as a short documentary, shaped by real moments, natural pacing, and honest storytelling. Working at that volume taught me how to find narrative in unscripted environments, how to structure a story that holds attention, and how pacing, restraint, and rhythm can elevate raw footage into something meaningful.
I developed a fast-turn, emotion-driven spec ad created entirely from scratch using generative AI in under one hour. This piece leans into grit, discipline, and inner resolve—focusing less on product and more on the feeling of becoming relentless. Built as a proof-of-concept for how AI-generated visuals can capture brand energy, mood, and motivation at speed, while still feeling cinematic and human.

“My Body”
I was invited to edit the official live video for “My Body” by Young The Giant, a project that celebrated the energy of their live performances and the connection between the band and their fans.
The video was crafted as a visual collage — blending tour footage, behind-the-scenes moments, and concert performances into a seamless portrait of life on the road.
My goal was to capture not just the performance, but the feeling of being part of the crowd — the heartbeat of the fan experience.

AMELIA MOORE
🥊 Partnering with pro-boxer Amelia Moore, I developed and executed content strategies that elevated her digital presence across platforms and supported her endorsement partnerships with brands such as Prolon, Orange Insoles and Yoga Democracy. My work included crafting short-form videos, interviews, and behind-the-scenes storytelling, all designed to highlight her 3-0 (1KO) pro record, top-10 global ranking, and dynamic personality. From concept to final edit, the content aimed to engage fans, tell her journey authentically, and expand her brand in the boxing world.
Morgan Flaharty
🏋🏽♂️ In one year, I grew Morgan Flaharty’s social following by 50%, helping him attract more online clients, build recurring monthly subscriptions, and land a strength and conditioning role with China’s Olympic Wrestling Team in Beijing. He even met a girl after working with me. I don’t think that had anything to do with me though.
C&H Asphalt
🚧 Construction & Proof of Performance Video
For C&H Asphalt, I produced a proof-of-performance video designed specifically for their website and in-person pitch meetings. The project followed a full parking-lot renewal for the locally owned Peak Bowl, capturing the scope, precision, and professionalism behind C&H’s process from start to finish. We condensed a multi-day construction project into a focused 90-second film, breaking down complex work into a clear, compelling visual narrative. Rather than just showing the final result, the video highlights how the work gets done—equipment, crew coordination, surface transformation, and real-world impact—giving prospective clients an immediate, visual understanding of C&H Asphalt’s capabilities and reliability.
