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.

After earning degrees in Media Communications and Spanish at North Carolina State University in 2004, I began my career in video production working as an editor and camera operator on a cooking show in Raleigh, NC.In 2005, I moved to Charleston, SC where I began working as an editor and producer for Litton Entertainment (now known as Hearst Media). Over the course of several years, I worked on a variety of nationally televised docu-reality TV series, including Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan: Family Edition, Calling Dr. Pol, The Brady Barr Experience, The Great Doctor Scott, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Hidden Heroes, Exploration with Richard Weise, Animal Exploration with Jarod Miller, and Hometeam. In 2011, I founded Palmetto Coast Media and began creating videos for businesses and events all over Charleston. In 2012, we co-created, co-produced, directed, filmed and edited a docu-reality TV series called “Give Me Shelter,” featuring the Charleston-based animal shelter Pet Helpers. The series aired on Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo Mundo, Hulu and Animal Planet in over 100 countries. In 2019, a promo video we created for Pet Helpers was voted by locals as Best Locally Produced Video in Charleston City Paper. It has been an exciting journey to work with so many incredible clients and partners over these past 12 years!

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. Highlights of this work include a full-length documentary about the undiscovered species in Ethiopia’s Bale Mountain National Park, a cinematic memoir for NASA physicist, George Gloeckler, a short documentary entitled Voices of the Inside Passage which was selected to the 2018 Colorado Environmental Film Festival, a medical docu-series for Detroit’s Top Docs, and innumerable volunteer work with nonprofits across the United States. 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." Although Susu’s personal and professional love of travel has taken her around the world, she currently finds herself enjoying life in Cary, North Carolina with her pup, Kona.

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.

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.
