I'm Rhodes Farrell! Give me a chocolate chip cookie and a camera, and I'm a happy camper. I originally studied audio in high school, but as I worked various gigs, I was asked to help shoot videos. It just made sense to do both. Slowly I started realizing how much I love film-making, bought my own camera, and started learning. After shooting hundreds of videos and over 15 years of honing my skills, videography isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am.

I am married to another artist, Emmy! She is an amazing art teacher and ceramicist. We have a pretty cute cat named Carol. And I have moved 32 times so far and hopefully I am done for a while. I pull inspiration and motivation from Walt Disney, YouTubers, and the other creatives I get the privilege to work with (including my wife).
