Discover Top Creative Directors in Montgomery, Alabama, USA

In 2019 I decided to leave my home country, Ukraine, and move to the US to pursue a career in film. I attended Savannah College of Art and Design for a Film and Television degree but always strived to get as much experience as I could on various sets and work opportunities. Despite little experience at the time, I quickly realized I had a great passion for directing. My biggest achievement up to now is a short film I have directed called "Glory to the Nation", which ultimately brought me 3 Student Emmy Awards and is still in the festival circuit. I have also discovered I strive in the grip and electrical department and genuinely enjoy gaffing jobs of any scale. I have worked on various projects including short and feature films, TV shows, commercials, fashion photography, and music videos. I co-own an equipment rental company called PYX Studios, which offers a great amount of camera and lighting equipment, enough for maintaining any smaller-scale productions.

Hi, I’m BJ Adkins, award winning videographer and graphic designer based in Dothan, AL. Prior to entering into the video, I've had 12 years graphic design experience, 35 years photography and 10+ years computer systems administrator experience (Mac, PC, Linux, Solaris). Once I started the video and multimedia, I fell in love with video, filmmaking – the entire process. I pretty much eat, sleep and dream video. I’m detail oriented and somewhat a perfectionist. My primary goal is to produce the best content for my “client”, regardless of where they are from. I consider everyone I am creating a video for a client – businesses, individuals or groups. And I employ the same sequence to all of them so that I can reproduce professional results every time from concept to finished product. This includes filming, sound, actors, scripts – every part of the process. I would be honored and excited to have the opportunity to film and edit videos and all the other related duties with other team members at the HOTH. I’m able to work alone or in teams and work on tight deadlines. My prior experiences as supervisor, team leader, and business owner has carried over into my film making. I take a lot of pride in every video I have my name on, in any capacity.

I'm Kyle Sklenar, a commercial and documentary Writer, Director, and Editor, with an aptitude for Comedy and Adventure. I've written for NBCUniversal's Holiday campaign, The Walking Dead's 10th Season Promo, and a handful of spots for Dish Network. I love directing, it's in my bones. Two stories for another day: I've directed a Super Bowl commercial in 2020 for a total budget of $10,000 with only one week to go from concept to master delivery. I've also convinced Kroger to build an entire game show set in the middle of the produce department of an active store. And as an editor, I've gotten my 10,000 hours. I started out in post, learning from Emmy award winning directors on the right (and sometimes wrong) way to do things. I've cut for AMC, NBCUniversal, Amazon, Disney, Toyota, Dish Network, The Utah Jazz, etc etc All in all, I know story. I know humor. And I know adventure. Let's work together and make a lasting impact on the world around us, while having some fun along the way.
