Single projects, monthly retainers, photography, brand films, headshots, drone, and even rescuing AI footage that didn't quite work. Pick what fits, or scroll the whole thing. Every package below has a quote request button where you can tell me more about your project.
If you're not ready for a retainer, start with The Cinematic Edit. One paid project, no commitment. Most clients move to a retainer after this. Some don't. Either is fine.
For founders, coaches, creators, and brands who make content every month and want it to stop looking like content. Month-to-month after a 3-month minimum on the entry tier. No upsell pressure. No surprise fees.
Album covers, press shots, brand portraits, founder photography, and the kind of headshot that doesn't look like a headshot. Same direction, different medium.
Shot the way magazines shoot their cover talent. 60-minute session, studio or location in Austin. Cinematic lighting, director's eye, editorial finish. 5 final frames delivered with the raw included. Founders, executives, creators, speakers. The headshot you'll actually want to use.
Full-day shoot for founders, agencies, and brands. Founder portraits, team frames, environmental b-roll for site and socials. 30+ delivered images, organized by use case (hero, social, web).
Album covers, press shots, tour book photography. The same eye that's shot Scotty McCreery, Jordan Fletcher (Sony / Triple Tigers), and Chase Bryant (Green Iris). Major-label experience, indie-friendly schedule.
The genre that built the resume. 390M+ views across the catalog. Full crew, full pre-production, full creative control. By invitation and budget — not by spec.
Concept-to-delivery music video for label-signed or established independent artists. Full crew (DP, gaffer, grip, AC, hair/makeup, PAs), 1–2 shoot days, location scouting, full creative treatment, full color and sound post. The same approach that made "Five More Minutes" a 100M-view, double-Platinum video.
Stripped-down session video for an artist who wants the song to lead. One location, intimate camerawork, beautiful color. The format I've cut for the McCreery Soundcheck Sessions and similar premieres on iHeartCountry.
The pieces you point to for years. Founder origin films, cinematic sales VSLs, mini-docs, and full-length brand documentaries. Quoted per project, no monthly commitment.
3–5 minute finished film. One shoot day. Founder + b-roll, festival-quality finish. The kind of piece you put on the homepage and sales decks.
5–15 minute finished film with a real narrative arc, original score, and full color + sound. The piece that introduces who you are at the level you want to be introduced.
5–12 minute video sales letter that reads conversationally on the page but plays theatrically on the screen. The kind buyers don't skip. Scripted with you, shot in Austin or remote.
15–45 minute documentary. Archival access required. 4–8 weeks of production. Festival-grade. The piece you put on your homepage for the next ten years.
Most AI generations miss what makes footage actually land — the cinematography that builds emotion, the pacing that holds attention, the framing the algorithm rewards. I'll direct the shots the same way I'd direct a real shoot. Color, rhythm, framing, and shot logic shaped by what works on screen and in feeds.
Whether you want me to generate footage to a brief or take what you've already made and shape it into something usable, the work is the same: cinematic intent first. Color the shots like a real piece. Pace them to musical phrasing instead of detected pauses. Choose framings that hold a face long enough to feel something. Build the kind of shot sequence the algorithm has learned to push.
The result still won't beat real footage shot by a real director. But it can beat what most AI projects look like right now. Send me a brief, a script, or the generations you've already made — I'll tell you the honest fastest path to the shot.
If you need it fast, I can move things around. The rush fee reflects the cost of bumping other clients, not artificial scarcity — quoted per project.
Cinematic Edit delivered in 24 hours instead of 5 days. For launch days, time-sensitive announcements, or when something just has to be out tomorrow.
Director's Cut shoot day booked within 7 days of contact. Subject to availability — depends on what's already booked. Not always possible, but worth asking.
The questions I actually get asked.
If your content needs to look like cinema, I'm cheaper than the time you'll spend revising a $50/hour editor's work. If your content just needs to exist, you don't need me. Honest answer: I'm worth it for founders, coaches, creators, and brands where every video is a sales tool. I'm not worth it for high-volume bulk content.
No. Not because I'm above them, but because I'm not the best fit. Those genres have specialists who'll do better work for less money. I'll happily refer you.
Volume and turnaround. The Monthly Edit gives you 2 long-forms and 10 verticals per month with a quarterly strategy call. The Channel gives you 4 long-forms, 16 verticals, 4 thumbnails, and 7-day turnaround. The Channel is for creators publishing weekly. The Monthly Edit is for creators publishing twice a month or less.
Yes. Up or down or pause. 30-day notice. The only commitment is the 3-month minimum on The Monthly Edit, since that tier requires onboarding work that doesn't make sense to do for one month.
Every tier includes one or two rounds of revisions, depending on tier. If after revisions you still don't love it, we keep working. I don't ship work I'm not proud of, which means I don't bill for work clients don't love.
Austin, Texas. I travel for shoots. Travel costs are billed at cost (flights, lodging, ground) plus a per-day travel fee for anything over 4 hours from Austin — quoted with the project.
Yes. Send yours.
Standard tier music (Musicbed, Artlist, Soundstripe) is included in every project. Premium licensed music or original score is quoted separately based on the project.
Tell me what you're making, who it's for, and what's not working. I'll tell you whether I'm the right person to help, what tier or project fits, and we'll go from there.
