TESTIMONIALS

"Booked a $4k wedding gig!"

“I booked a $4,000 out-of-state solo wedding gig that came as a result of the couple seeing one of my videos Luke shot, and several venues reached out to me to book gigs with them after someone showed them one of my videos. I'll definitely continue to work with Luke!”

– Joe Downer

"AMAZING!"

“After we dropped our live in-studio session, the same venues that ignored our emails started reaching out. We booked three better-paying shows off that one video alone.”

– Lexie Raine

"We TRIPLED our price with these videos!"

“Once Luke filmed our live concert, we were able to TRIPLE our price and have performed at Barns of Wolf Trap, The Fillmore, Warner Theater and several large festivals and venues since then.”

– Annie Sidley

"Lightning fast communication"

Frequently asked questions

If you’re thinking like a professional, you’re probably asking these questions. If something’s not covered here, bring it to our call.

We’re independent, are we “big enough” to work with you?

If you’re already playing live, releasing music, and treating this like your job—even if you still have a day job—you’re likely the right fit. We’re less concerned with follower count and more with your seriousness about using video to grow.

What if we don’t have a big budget?

That’s exactly why we start with strategy. Sometimes one strong live session or a lean but powerful video does more for your career than a bloated concept. On the call we’ll match scope to your goals and resources, not push you into something that doesn’t make sense.

Can you travel for shows or shoots?

Yes, travel is possible and common for the right projects. We’ll factor travel and logistics into the quote. If it’s not cost-effective, we’ll be honest and suggest alternatives.

How far in advance should we book?

Ideally 4–6 weeks before your target date, especially for releases or important shows. If you’re on a tighter timeline, still reach out to us. We can often suggest a scaled, realistic plan.

Do we get raw footage?

You’ll always receive the final edited deliverables. Raw footage can sometimes be included or licensed depending on the project—if that’s important to you, mention it on our call so we can structure the quote correctly.
