For nearly a decade I’ve been working alongside businesses and nonprofits to create videos that tell stories, highlight brands, and educate unique audiences. When we work together we always start with your vision and your unique needs. Then we’ll develop a strategic plan that delivers compelling, purpose-filled pieces.
We specialize in collaboration, bringing efficiency that maximizes your budget with creative strategy that helps build your content library. Together we’ll zoom in on your vision and focus on the most important pieces to capture, from there you can count on us to weave it together with craftsmanship.
The Place for Seamless Video Production From Start to Finish
Videos You’ve Been Dreaming Up
crafted for you by EXPERTS
Once we have our plan in place, you can count on being surrounded by experts on film days. My team brings the very best equipment and the most creative minds around–I can’t wait to show you how this team pulls together, problem solves, and brings your vision to life.
In many cases, clients are bringing immediate goals, short term and long term content goals, this can range from short social media videos to longer form docu-style videos to testimonials to internal training materials. I help you organize your vision to compliment your budget and your timeline needs.
From there, I’ll create a customized plan based on your specific project needs. My goal is to maximize your budget and create as much efficiency as possible– sometimes this looks like creative filming strategy where we capture two things at once.
We always start with a discovery call–this free call is the best place to kick off. You bring your dreams, needs, worries, and ideas, and we’ll talk through initial concepts.
Every project is unique, but these are the elements you can count on:
Our Process
In the end you’ll have powerful videos to use as tools to further your reach and reinforce your story and your brand.

I remember when I first knew I wanted to make videos. In college, I was watching a short story play out on a screen and it moved me in a way that reading or hearing a story could never do–it was immersive and it moved me to action. Today, my favorite part of the creative process with clients is when they start to believe that getting to that place is possible.
I went out on my own to start de Sousa Agency in 2016, and since then I’ve worked with an incredible range of small, local businesses to larger nation-wide companies to nonprofits doing life-changing work. Capturing their stories and strategizing alongside them has taught me to embrace the process of creating.
I often come back to that quote from Walt Disney, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible!” Often when I’m first meeting with clients their ideas feel impossible to them, there are hurdles or obstacles that they can’t see a way around. The initial “idea” is almost never the exact final product, but when we embrace the process together, I find that project just keeps getting better and better–that’s a journey I love to take with my clients. And it’s a journey I hope to take with you. I’d love to hear about your video vision, idea, dream, or maybe just your company's biggest gap in content that you can’t see a way to fill–I’m just a call away.
