School of Man is an organization that empowers men by challenging them both physically and mentally. Everyday, participants arrive, workout, meditate, and converse… all before the sun rises. "Because no one is fighting for your A.M.’s” They move through a program meant to help them become better men, fathers, and leaders, until the ultimate test “the crucible” arrives.
“Rebirth” is about a group of participants on the day of their “crucible.”
A documentary still in progress, the stories of the men involved are meant to reflect why they joined the program, as well as who they become at it’s completion; being “reborn” into new men.
The intro was compiled and demo’d for proof of concept, and still being edited.

SCHOOL OF MAN - “REBIRTH”
Documentary (In Progress)
SANTA CRUZ SKATEBOARDS - 50TH ANNIVERSARY
Documentary
Probably one of the most defining pieces in our collection. To work with such an amazing brand, and oldest skate company in the world, we were overwhelmed and excited all at the same time to get this film complete.
We worked together with video guru Joe Perrin and the Crew at Santa Cruz to make this incredible piece documenting the celebration of the brands 50th year in business. Multiple days of filming, and hundreds of GB’s of footage to sift through, made this film unique and celebratory.
We went back and forth between several drafts, and definitely missed some deadlines, but when the finished project dropped, we all knew we made something special together.

If you’re familiar with the CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) world, then there’s a great chance you’ve heard this guy’s music. Arguably, the most influential Christian singer of our generation, Chris Tomlin released this surprise album with a collection of friends who were all “right place, right time” connections during Covid.
During covid, we were mainly taking and producing editing jobs, so we were more than happy when we got the call from Capitol Records to be part of this project.
The idea was simple: let’s make a promotional piece for the album that reflects the nature of the collaborations while the album was being produced. Piedmonte & Capitol Records provided shooters and footage, so everything was delivered to us for post-production.
While editing, you could see the genuine joy on everyone’s face while they were doing their takes, or hanging out, so making this piece feel joyful and friendly wasn’t difficult. When Chris said “this is my favorite video we’ve done so far,” we definitely didn’t pretend to not be excited…
We fan-girl’d.

BEIGE
Campaign Film
There is a brand local to us in Little Rock, AR. that pushes the preconception of “fashion” in the south, and we’ve worked with them since 2017. Ashley Peoples and the team at BEIGE have long been clients of intermittent needs, but consistent vision and creativity. We took a small crew out to the countryside and made some really interesting visuals. We spent that day at a family cabin and moved over to dock for the shot’s in the opening scene. It was a sunrise shoot - sunset shoot, so had plenty of time to get some amazing footage.

FAIRFIELD BAY
Travel & Tourism
The city of Fairfield Bay reached out for commercial work in accordance with Arkansas Travel & Tourism in a campaign to draw more people into the area. Taylor’d Media was our main point of contact, and for several years, we made content for the city.
This collaboration was highly effective, and reached several goals/campaign markers for the marketing push. This video in particular highlights the attraction of Sugarloaf Mountain, the States only mountain island.
Complete with plenty of nature outlets and visitor destinations, It wasn’t difficult to make such a pristine green space look appealing to nature lovers.

“DIRT”
Docu-short/Fundraising
We had the opportunity to edit the annual missions fund raising docu-short for the Missionary Baptist Association - Global in 2023. The piece was meant to reflect the story of a man named Jerry, and his life events that led him to be a well respected missionary in the Missionary Baptist Global Community. Jerry’s pregnant mother falls to her knee’s during pregnancy issues and plea’s with God to save her son’s life while working in a cotton field.

AUSTIN PEAY STATE UNIVERSITY
Commercial
Content Titan is a local marketing agency that had footage from a commercial shoot for APSU and needed assistance with editing. This piece was shot in Nashville at Austin Peay State University, and delivered on hard drive. A full diagnostic was given, and there was little to no difficulty making sure this video did what it needed to. Shot list, voice over, and footage were all delivered, and we just needed to make it come alive. This is 1 of 2 commercial spots we edited for the university.
