Northeast Missouri Filmmaker and Videographer.

  • Wedding

    Your wedding day will fly by in a blur of joy, tears, and laughter. The moments that matter most—your grandmother's proud smile, your best friend's heartfelt toast, the way your partner looks at you during your first dance—deserve to be preserved forever.

  • Commercial & Non-Profit

    A professionally-made video is invaluable for business. Whether it’s a commercial to bring in new customers, online educational, training courses, aerial shots, or testimonials, we’ve helped to promote businesses big and small.

  • Audio Video Lighting Integration

    Installing new lights, projectors, and video systems can be daunting. As a Video and Technical Director in a local church, we’re always up to date on tech. Our consulting and integration services could save you thousands of dollars.

Recent Projects

 

DEMO REEL 2022

It’s been a little over a year since I really began to push into developing Powell Film Co. There have been so many fun opportunities, that I wanted to share one year’s worth of different projects, my 2022 Demo Reel! Looking forward to this next season. Huge thank you to all my clients who have trusted me to capture some of the biggest days of their lives!

 

Shelby County Jail Project

We were able to put together an informational video to help the voters of Shelby County understand the need for a new jail when it comes time to vote on the propositions. Each of the presenters worked off a teleprompter to help them clearly communicate the need with the public. This piece was donated to the county.

Follow our journey.
