Hi! I’m Ian,

filmmaker, strategist, and founder of Founders Focal.

I started this studio with one simple belief: that every founder has a story worth telling, and that story deserves to be told with intention, clarity, and a bit of cinematic flair.

Founders Focal is my way of blending what I love—visually compelling storytelling and purpose-driven strategy—to help brands, entrepreneurs, and changemakers communicate with real impact. Whether we're mapping out a brand doc, designing a content campaign, or shooting on location, I keep the process collaborative, grounded, and (hopefully) fun.

This isn’t about flashy trends or hollow hype. It’s about getting to the heart of your message—and making sure your audience feels it.

It’s simple…

Founders Focal is a boutique media and marketing studio built by and for visionary founders. We specialize in crafting documentary-style brand narratives, strategic campaign content, and emotionally intelligent storytelling that moves audiences and drives results.

With a sharp focus on cinematic sensibility, we distill your brand’s essence into compelling visuals and messaging—whether through film, social, or strategic content design.
