I originally studied video at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and cut my teeth filming skateboarding in the streets of the city. When I moved to the beautiful beach town of the Outer Banks of North Carolina I took a long break from video. Eventually though, and perhaps it was inevitable, I came back to my first love. I was doing marketing for a chain of artisan coffee roasters when I offered to make their TV commercials. Which I did, using their $89 Kodak Sport camera. I loved the experience and I couldn't believe I'd forgotten how fun it is. Now, 4 years later, my wife and I quit our day jobs and make videos on the beach full-time. Covering all manner of local events, doing wedding films, and corporate stuff. We work with some of the area's most exciting businesses such as The Lost Colony, The NC Aquarium, Outer Banks ACE, Brew Thru, and the Outer Banks Visitor's Bureau, to name a few.

Bio: Susu Hauser is an award-winning photographer and documentary filmmaker, specializing in telling stories through multimedia. She is known for her ability to capture extraordinary imagery while weaving together impactful narratives that bring awareness to issues and drive viewers to action. After graduating from American University with a B.A. in Visual Media Communications, Susu began her professional career in television with Original Productions on the Emmy Award-winning docu-series, Deadliest Catch. She built a name for herself behind the camera in a highly male-dominated industry, working on other action-oriented television series including Ice Road Truckers, Ax Men, Wicked Tuna, Wild Justice, Chopper Live and Airplane Repo. In 2015, after more than a decade creating content for Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and The History Channel, Susu cofounded The Invisible Lens, a full-service video production company with a mission of creating positive and impactful feature length films.

In 2021, Susu founded her own full-service video production and photography company, Susu Hauser Photography. She has continued her impactful work with local communities and has since produced Dress for Success Triangle's "Women Making Change" fundraising video, as well as, created promotional materials for Sonda Yoga, Living Arts Collective, and the Jonah Garson Campaign. In 2022, she partnered with Photographers Without Borders and Multicolores nonprofits to highlight the empowerment of women through Fair Trade and the artisan market, and has begun field production of her full length documentary "Hands of Change."

1 reviewThe Founder and creative visionary behind the Nova Initia concept is Andrew Smith, who serves under the job title of Creative Director. Mr. Smith’s interest in the visual arts traces all the way back to his early childhood - with his mother constantly pushing him towards his dream of gracing the silver screen. He would initially set out on a path towards being an actor, attending the renowned John Robert Powers acting school as a teenager. Mr. Smith then made the transition to behind the camera - where he would discover his true passion for filmmaking and film theory. This would culminate in him earning a B.A. in Visual & Performing Arts from Johnson C. Smith University in 2015, with a concentration in film. Mr. Smith would eventually round out his skill set by developing proficiency in post-production editing. He now possesses an impressive versatility within the filmmaking field; and, having worked in the industry since 2011, is the ideal person to lead our team. His responsibilities with Nova Initia include steering day-to-day operations, editing, financial management, and creative leadership. He loves writing short stories, poetry, music, and more in his free time, and enjoys giving back to his native Maryland community in any way he can.

I am a storyteller. As a child I was drawn to cartoons and comics. As I matured, so did my interests. Through high school I poured my passion into illustration and writing. Once in college I discovered graphic design, animation, videography and editing. This became my new venue of choice for telling stories. I worked for a video production company for 3+ years before making the jump to Capstrat, a great ad agency. After 8+ wonderful years with Capstrat I decided to challenge myself in a new role with Duke University. After 3 years with Duke I have set out to build my own business. I currently enjoy working in these areas: conceptualization, writing, storyboarding, production, design, editing, animation, sound design, illustration, flash and photography. Specialties: Project management (budgets, schedules, staffing), art direction, conceptualization, writing, storyboarding, illustration, design, animation, videography, editing, sound design and flash.

You'll often hear me say: improvise, adapt, adjust and overcome. I live by that motto, so when I wanted to work in video, I didn't have time for formal education. My experience is a little different from other Directors. Just like Quentin Tarantino, I never went to film school. Everything that I've learned is self-taught. By studying the masters, such as Tarantino and my favorite-Stanley Kubrick, I developed a unique style, which has been sought by several Hollywood studios for various TV projects. I pride myself on creating solutions for problems. I found lots of problems in the status quo video production workflow, while working with large crews out of Hollywood. I took those issues and, along with my business partner-Beth Sowell, created a production workflow that was completely unique to this industry. You see, I truly love what I do. The easier that I can make it for our clients, the more clients, with which we partner and thereby, the more videos, 3D animations and product photographs that I get to create. It's so much more than money for me. It's about the experience. After all, life is about experiences. Don't expect me to show up for our meeting with a suit and tie-that's not me. A company button-down, a pair of jeans and some comfortable shoes is what you're going to get. With me, what you see is what you get. The same goes for our crew members. I'm determined to break the average video production company persona, of egomaniacs and power hungry crew members. I'm creating a new organizational culture of down-to-earth, friendly people who view the client as the most important person on set, and who view each crew member as equality important.

Be it photos or video, I love creating content that makes a connection and draws people closer to a better life; one they never thought they could experience. That sounds very grand and magical, but it’s the power that a story holds. At the end of the day, I’m a storyteller at heart. And if you hand me a camera, I will create content that is unparalleled and pushes the envelope to bring your story to life. My brain is set on fire when I think about the endless possibilities and opportunities that we are afforded in this modern, digital age. I’m beyond grateful to not only have a passion that I can share, but one that can actually help people because nothing gets me more fired up than creating something that makes someone’s eyes light up. Bottom line is I love what I do. Being able to help people and businesses succeed and reach their goals through the art of storytelling gets me out of bed in the morning and I can’t wait for the next adventure. Just give me a camera and I’ll do the rest. Testimonials: “Brad is an extremely talented individual.

For over a decade I worked as a freelance cinematographer and producer for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, BBC and The History Channel. In that time, I climbed the ladder from production assistant, to coordinator, to associate producer, to assistant camera, and finally to producer and cinematographer. Having fulfilled all these titles, I am a well-rounded filmmaker. With an insatiable thirst for diverse cultures, exotic lands and exploration, I have honed my cinematography through travel and adventure. As co-founder of The Invisible Lens, a husband and wife production company, I filmed with NASA astrophysicist, George Gloeckler in a memoir highlighting the pioneers of space exploration and rise of the Voyager spacecrafts. With a keen interest in environmental conservation, I spent over a year and a half documenting a large carnivore camera trap survey in Ethiopia’s Bale Mountain National Park. I am one of the first and only filmmakers to capture the elusive Abyssinian lion on camera. Most recently, my short documentary about transboundary mining threatening the integrity of the waters between British Columbia and Southeast Alaska, "Voices of the Inside Passage", was selected to the Colorado Environmental Film Festival. I have a passion for filming and producing impactful stories.
