We’re hosting a hands-on videography workshop where an industry professional will show you how to: • shoot footage that actually looks polished • use lighting to your advantage (not fight it) • capture audio that keeps people watching • create videos that *feel* intentional and engaging No matter your starting point—phone, camera, beginner, experienced—you’ll leave knowing the next steps to level up your content. This workshop is completely FREE, but make sure to reserve your spot! #LinkInBio Tag someone who needs this or share to your story so you don’t miss it 👇 #videography #videotips #contentcreator #filmmaking #videoworkshop #creatives #contentcreation #churchmedia #creativeministry #videoproduction #socialmediavideo #learnvideography #visualstorytelling #productiontips #videocreator #creativecommunity #reelsinstagram #growthtips

“Driven Memories” === When I wrote this script, the idea was to tell the story of the kind of connection that lives beyond the photo, the trip, or the moment. I was trying to convey the special gift of creating and nurturing the chosen family that some of us are fortunate enough to have and the quiet rituals that keep us tethered to each other and to ourselves. At its core, this is a story of friendship told through movement, memory, and fragments of joy that remain for a lifetime. I dont think it could be more appropriate to create such a narrative with some of my best friends of over a decade, and some new ones who are already part of my heart! === The Blurb: Three friends reunite for a weekend road trip through the Pacific Northwest. There’s laughter, teasing, silence, and shared awe. What begins as a simple getaway becomes a living time capsule -- captured through the lens of Bolex camera and preserved in the rhythms of the road. The Acura RDX carries them through forests, overlooks, and waterfalls, but it’s the space inside the car and between the characters that carries the meaning. Years later, the tradition continues. The people may change, wrinkles become more prominent, but the ritual of returning, remembering, and reconnecting remains. This is not a narrative about cars, It’s about the roads that hold our stories and the bond that lure us towards those we chose to spend this short passage on this Earth with. == Written and directed by Pedro Oliveira.
