CHAD ZELLMER PRODUCTIONS

STORYTELLING WITH HEART

I love storytelling. Meeting new people, traveling to new places and learning new stories is the best part of my career. Every story is unique. Each story is interesting. Being entrusted to tell someone's story with a camera is something I don't take lightly.  

 

In this day and age, we are all so disconnected. To truly reconnect with our audience, we cannot just bombard them with social media posts.  Visual storytelling is the way to your audience's heart. People connect with stories.

 

Let us find a creative way to cut out the fog and sharpen your focus. I pride myself on being a chameleon and adapting seamlessly to any shoot type, situation, environment, or creative challenge. I've traveled the world telling stories and have overcome the odds of production in all reaches of the globe.
