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—storytelling and 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 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…
