Entrepreneur: Profiles of Innovation was a 12 part video series for culturmap.com about some of Houston’s creative entrepreneurs who have followed a passion and started their own business.  This series was produced by Douglas Newman of MouthWatering Media and myself over three months in 2011.  The series was a great experiment to figure out how to get low cost, high quality video content produced for the web.  For most of the 12 segments I handled all aspects of the production; camera, sound and editing, while Douglas conducted the interviews.  By the end we got into a really good rhythm that I felt maximized the budget and our time and created, in my opinion, 12 really compelling video profiles of Houston’s creative entrepreneurs.  Below are a few of my favorites.
