Portfolio / Selected work

Films that did the job they were built to do.

Documentary work across manufacturing, construction, and nonprofits in the Triad. Every film below is real, live on YouTube, and — more importantly — still doing work for the client who commissioned it.

01 · Manufacturing · Winston-Salem, NC

The only security door with a SWAT team on tape.

Shield needed buyers to believe the door would actually hold. So we filmed a live SWAT team trying to breach one — a first-of-its-kind tactical test — and turned the footage into their sales pitch.

02 · Nonprofit · Winston-Salem, NC

A sheriff, an open-heart survival story, an AHA campaign.

Sheriff Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr. on faith, recovery, and why leadership starts with the heart — a documentary-style short film produced in partnership with the American Heart Association.

03 · B2B Services · Greensboro, NC

The dealer-only auction floor, in their own words.

A brand story built around one question: why do 30-year buyers keep coming back to a dealer-exclusive auction house? We let the people who run the lanes answer it.

04 · Manufacturing · The Triad

The automation case study told by the client, not the vendor.

How a Triad automation partner rebuilt a textile client's fulfillment line — filmed inside both operations, with the customer explaining the ROI on camera.

05 · Manufacturing · The Triad

A second case study, a second client on camera saying the same thing.

The Parts Authority side of the KPI Solutions story — a distribution operator walking through the before/after of a KPI-built automation line, in the language his own buyers speak.

06 · Nonprofit · Greensboro, NC

A memorial 5K, a family's mission, a community that showed up.

A documentary piece for The LaRue Run — the annual 5K honoring a life and funding the cause behind it. Filmed to capture the heart of the event so next year's runners feel it before they register.

07 · Nonprofit · Greensboro, NC

The short film that started With A Twist Media.

A neighborhood pantry. One family. One camera. An early documentary piece that convinced me a video's real job is to move someone — and shaped how I've built every project since.
