I was the kid in high school figuring out old reel to reel machines and projectors in A/V club, and I've carried on that passion for technology and media to my professional career. Early on in my career, most of my experience came from my love for audio and music production. I tracked numerous local bands in the Cincinnati area including Walk the Moon, and Young Heirlooms, both in studio and on location. I've done sound for picture and live music video projects one of which won an Emmy award. I've worked as a field audio engineer for projects ranging from short corporate promotional videos to feature length films. Since those early days of running sound and tracking, I've pivoted to video production and find myself happiest with a camera in my hands on a shoot or traveling. I began polishing my craft at the Cincinnati Museum Center and National Underground Railroad Freedom center for 4 1/2 years as the head of video production and AV for both institutions. In 2016 I took a position in the corporate world as a Multi-media Producer at Paycor to revamp their video output from the ground up. Finally in 2018 I was able to make the move out on my own and launched Axe of All Trades, a full service video production outfit based in Cincinnati Ohio.

Josh Chitwood was born in Indiana in 1994 and was raised in a small southern Illinois town. As a transplant family from Indianapolis, and with Syrian-Lebanese roots, his family did not fit the mold of this rural town. Filmmaking and the creative process became his outlet at an early age. Throughout high school, Josh began developing his craft by making skate films, short documentaries and videos for his parent's church. In 2012, Josh moved from Illinois to Minnesota where he met his wife, Morgan. In 2014, Josh and Morgan started a film company called Chitwood Media. The heart of their work is to create films that cultivate inspiration, expand perspective, empower community and affirm hope. Their films reflect the unique creativity ingrained in each individual that goes beyond mimicking the popular. The themes of their storytelling and cinematography challenge misconception, reveal beauty, and reflect their personal faith. In October of 2021, the two relocated their business from Minneapolis to Indianapolis. In his free time, Josh enjoys spending time in his home and community with Morgan and their three sons, Marquelle, Reggie and Tony.

I've got one simple belief that drives my personal and professional life: people need connections and the best ones come from communication that’s real and simple. A communicator to the core, all work and no play wouldn't really bother me, but I have my fun too: I love hanging out with my wife and three sons whether at home or on the road. We're all Disney fanatics who visit Disney Parks annually. I'm an amateur chef who spent this summer building a traditional brick pizza oven in my backyard. And like any real professional at a video production company, I'm an avid fan of watching movies. The project I'm currently most excited about is Finding Hygge, the first feature-length documentary film our team at 12 Stars Media has produced. It's a journey to find the real meaning of the Danish word hygge, through a glimpse into the lives of the happiest people on the planet.

David is an Independent Producer, Director and Shooter in Ohio. I've worked in many aspects of video and film production. One day I may be producing/directing, the next day I may be shooting. Quite often it is multiple roles in order to help get the project finished. David's greatest strength is knowing what he should NOT do. With that said... Most of us are Jacks of All Trades in this industry, but I will NEVER accept an assignment that I don't feel I can complete to the level that you and the subject deserves. Let's talk and see what I can get done for you.
