POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’ve been a filmmaker for years.
But somewhere along the way I stopped taking photos for me.
This series is my attempt to change that.
To pick up a camera (a nice new @fujifilmx_us X-T30ii), slow down and relearn photography from the ground up while teaching you along the way!
Where better to start than the foundation, the Exposure Triangle.
Follow along as I teach myself the basics one frame at a time.

I have no words to explain this.

Last night we put on a trailer release for our upcoming film Soul Fighter (@soulfighterfilm) and the community showed up!

To everyone who came to this event thank you. We hope you can see and feel the passion that everyone that worked on this project poured into it.

This event was equally for us to show our work as much as it was to connect the Milwaukee and Chicago communities and even bring inspiration to anyone else to make their own films and bring their own visions to life.

The team that worked on this project and the event are second to none and truly I cannot be grateful enough for everyone who supported this project 🙏 by @ericdids

Media Bolt Productions is coming up on 6 years in business 🎥

Six years later, our goal and our mission are still the same: tell high-quality stories that help brands connect with their audience.

We’re incredibly thankful for every client who has trusted us with their story, every collaborator who has helped us bring those stories to life, and every friend who has supported us along the way.

It’s been one hell of a ride, and we’re just getting started. 🥂

We got the keys today!! 🏡

After a failed business and the debts that came with it, COVID and everything that did to us financially, and watching home prices climb further away for years, we did it.

I can't be thankful enough to my parents for letting Karen and me stay with them so we could build toward this. They gave us the room to get set up right, not just for now but for everything ahead.

And to my wife for working so hard right alongside me to make this happen. Every sacrifice, every late night, all of it brought us here.

There are a million more people to thank who played a part in this, even if they don't know it. Karen and I are officially first time homeowners and we can't wait to see what's next. by @ericdids
