“But… I’m terrible with media”
“I know we need videos, but who’s gonna make em?”
“Video strategy… yeah my nephew knows iMovie!”
We can’t afford it… it’s too hard… just nope!”
Over the decades of being a creator in video production I have heard literally thousands of ‘reasons’ aka excuses about why doing video is too hard, too expensive and downright challenging for business owners and their teams. During the recent pandemic I dove head first into these issues… always asking how do we solve for these issues around video production for all of us busy professionals. But first a little backstory is in order.
Back in 2010, I had my first kid on the way and had to ‘get serious’ about my diverse career. So I chose an alternative MBA in Sustainable Business from SF’s Presidio Graduate School to evolve myself in a new direction. I wanted to blend my love of media production and marketing with new skills in strategy and operational efficiencies for greater impact. After my years as a freelance photographer/videographer, I never felt truly satisfied handing over my media assets, and never truly knowing how or where it would be leveraged. Hence Brick House Media was born way back in 2013 (born in the back of a Lyft) and based in Santa Cruz since 2017.

Now we get to do holistic marketing and media productions for a wide range of clients around the globe! We also do visual websites, media strategy, email marketing/landing pages, social content and we even build shared media studios!
In 2018, I realized we were creating thought leaders based on our work, so I crafted an online course to empower emerging thought leaders via media, called Break On Through. But I’m still not done. My goal has always been to see professionals become truly empowered and also educated them on the ‘nuts & bolts’ of video production, as an internal tool for their creative marketing. It’s great to give someone a fish… but so much better to teach people to fish!
We created this bold small group in-person, hands-on course based right here in our little beach town. We have two options as a 3-day program for business owners and entrepreneurs to learn how to do it all from lighting, sound, backgrounds, and outsourcing the often painful editing process. And we have a 5-day program for people looking to start their own video business in partnership with our colleagues. IF you are a Santa Cruz Works community member, you will get up to 50% off. We have scholarships available too!
