Meet the Principal

Michael Ketchum

Ketch is an accomplished, Emmy-nominated producer, with a proven track record of success in cinematography and moving images. He is a natural storyteller, possessing an artist's eye for color and balance that enhances the visual experience of his work. With years of experience writing across a variety of industries, he is a storyteller at heart with an artist's eye for color and balance. He has years of experience writing across industries in a variety of voice, obsessed with grammar, word choice, and policing unnecessary adverb usage. He has a proven talent for seamlessly weaving together the narrative of each project with the aid of his musical ear and a collaborative spirit that helps clients share their personal stories or brand narratives with ease.

Ketch's passion for food and travel, which has been a constant in his life, lends a unique perspective to his lens. His ability to capture the essence of cultures and cuisines through his work is a testament to his ability to translate his own experiences into visual art. With a mind equally adept at creativity and analytical thinking, Ketch is a gifted producer who brings his unique vision to every project he touches. If you don't see him with a camera in his hands, you might just find him teaching media technology in an enthusiastic high school class, on or under the waters of the Puget Sound, skiing the slopes of the Cascades, or behind any number of the many stringed instruments in his studio.

"The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you." – Anthony Bourdain
