A first glimpse into the world of Soul Fighter. These are some of the first frames from the film we’ve been building with an amazing crew of filmmakers. From fight choreography to atmospheric worlds and detailed production design, this project has been an incredible creative journey. Seeing these moments finally come to life on screen is something special. This is only the beginning. 🎬 Swipe to explore the first images from the film.

I’m really grateful for the opportunity to DP a @jumpman23 spec ad in Chicago. Huge thank you to the Chicago crew for welcoming the Milwaukee filmmakers and bringing us down to be part of such a talented team. Also big shout to Director @tomas.cutts for creating and building something so awesome. Shoots like this remind me how powerful the film community is when cities come together to create something special. Left this one feeling inspired and thankful for the new friendships and collaborations. Can’t wait to see what this crew does next. 🙏🏾🎬 Director: @tomas.cutts Co Director: @directorbaldwin AD: @_iam_jnicole DP: 🙋🏾‍♂️ Co DP/Gaffer: @qutheantihero 1st AC: @ericdids 2nd AC: @finnstagram88 Drone Op: @itsjzhu Steadicam Op: @cirillocamera G&E Swing: @ryan.torf G&E Swing: @iam.ferno.lo Sound/Boom: @Craig.is.filming Production Designer: @it ’s_mariahhhhh_ Set Dresser: Tia Perez Wardrobe Assistant: @dallasjax BTS: Mikayla Sullivan Retoucher: @earthrokk Creative Producer: @just_fabi Producer: @producer_tasha Producer: @directedbyericalmond Composer: @hellastrings Post EP: @Jonnacwoods Editor: @riandesimone Asst Editor: @mlauryn Colorist: @colincubr Audio Engineer: @zwscheit Creative Director: @thetitlemaker 3D Artist: @maxvdawson Finish: Ryan Wood In partnership with @id8creativeco @weatherstonestudios @mediaboltproductions @blankgazefw Cast: Sam: Nile Williamson Sister 1: Isabella Almond Sister 2: Zahara-Rose Neequaye Child Extras: Zion Neequaye, Ocean Williamson, Savannah Williamson

Porter the Free Man, played by @qutheantihero , is a character who refuses to die. He’s a genre blend of all the things we enjoyed in films like Black Dynamic, New Jack City, Dune, and Kill Bill. We’re thrilled to contribute to the cannon of sci-fi films with Soul Fighter— a scifi western written intentionally to tell a story that bends authentically while representing the essence and wit of black characters on screen. Happy Black History Month. 📸: @maxoto_

Yesterday I shot a campaign for @beautybybrooketheissen 's brand. Turning a plain event space into something stunning was a really fun challenge! The @nisiopticsusa Athena’s were great for this.

Some frames I captured with the Helios 44-2 58mm lens! This lens has so much character, especially when shooting outdoors. This shoot was a fundraiser for a film project by @_theprogramshortfilm , from the mind of our good friend @directorbaldwin and a Media Bolt production. Go check it out and consider donating if you're feeling generous! 🙏🏾🎥 📸BTS shots: @ericdids

Step inside @amilindamke , one of Milwaukee’s most inspiring restaurants — where creativity, culture, and craft collide. Inspired by the visual poetry of Netflix’s Chef’s Table, this cinematic food film captures the artistry, emotion, and soul behind every plate. 🍽️ Director: @maxoto_ 🎥 Cinematography: @lights_camera_jackson 1st AC: @ericdids Gaffer: @iam.ferno.lo Grip: @thetalentedgamerhd_official PA: @maymay.illustrations BTS: @fredtheblackkid 🎬 Color: ​⁠ @lights_camera_jackson Editor: ​⁠ @mediaboltproductions Production Companies: @mediaboltproductions & @life.likecamera Restaurant: @amilindamke 📍 Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin This isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a story of passion, patience, and flavor. From the fire of the kitchen to the quiet moments of reflection, Amilinda embodies what it means to cook from the heart.

As I look back on this journey, I’m reminded of how much begins with a simple dream — and how powerful it can be to follow through. What started as late nights and big ideas has grown into Media Bolt Productions: a place where stories come to life, where collaborations turn into lasting partnerships, and where creativity is matched with purpose. I’m deeply grateful for every client who has trusted us, every collaborator who has shared their talents, and every challenge that pushed me to grow. None of this happens in isolation — it happens because of community, vision, and persistence. The most exciting part? I truly believe this is just the beginning. New projects, new opportunities, and new ways to bring stories to life are ahead — and I couldn’t be more energized for what’s next. Here’s to the journey so far, and to the road still unfolding. 🚀
