BRANDON WORDEN


ONE STORY CHANGED THE COURSE OF MY LIFE

In 2015, my sister Brianna was recognized for her courage and advocacy surrounding Neurofibromatosis (NF). The greatest honor, however, wasn’t the award, but the opportunity to have her story told. A small team of filmmakers spent a week documenting her life, giving others an intimate look at her journey. Watching her story unfold on the big screen showed me the power of giving someone the chance to truly be seen, and inspired me to pursue storytelling myself.

For the past decade, I’ve worked as an editor and colorist, creating everything from music videos to award-winning films. But after years of working behind the scenes, moving back to my home in the Catskills led me to find a deep passion for photography. What began with picking up my camera on a whim became a new way of seeing the world.
Filmmaking taught me how to shape a story. Photography taught me how to recognize one as it unfolds. Whether I’m working with a couple, capturing an event, or helping bring a film to life, I approach every project with the same belief: every person has a story worth telling. Through film and photography, my goal is to find the heart of every story and craft it into something that connects and stays with you long after the credits roll or after you receive your gallery. One story changed the course of my life. Now, my goal is to tell stories that have the power to change someone else’s.

    Brandon has been an incredible collaborator and always a pleasure to work with. I've had the chance to meet him over movies, music videos, and occasional discussions about the latest technology in cinema. Brandon cares deeply about the work he does, meaning he takes pride and effort in ensuring that things turn out high in caliber. He's very thorough, visually encyclopedic, and funny. That makes working with him quite a treat.

    I was surprised by how well Brandon understands direction. We worked very closely on the editing and color-grading for a music video, where I noticed his great ability to apply my lengthy notes while also finding new approaches that would greatly benefit the final edit. Similarly, I was amazed by his great work ethic, understanding of the tools, and determination to meet the very high standard that he demands of himself. I knew Brandon cared for this project just as much as I did, and that’s irreplaceable.

    If not for his superb editing, color-grading and photography services, Brandon will just about inspire you to watch a very good movie and ignite in you a desire to be a lot more organized — and then you'll probably become good friends with him! He's a great person and collaborator.

    Working with Brandon has always been a great experience. He puts an incredible amount of care into every project and never settles for “good enough". His attention to detail is exceptional, and it’s clear he genuinely wants to create work that both he and his clients can be proud of.

    I also appreciate that he takes the time to understand the artist and the vision behind a project while bringing his own strong creative eye to the process. His passion for photography really comes through in the final product.

    My favorite part was the peace of mind I had throughout the post-production process. I immediately knew my music video was in skilled hands, so I never felt the need to stress or constantly check in on the edit. I trusted that you were focused on making the video as strong as it could be, which allowed me to put my energy into other aspects of the release. That level of confidence and ease is something I really appreciated.

    What surprised me most was how interested you were in the marketing side of your projects, beyond the editing. During our conversations about promotion, I could tell you were genuinely interested in finding strategies that would help the reach of projects you worked on, rather than just delivering the final edit and moving on. That really showed me how passionate you are about your work and how committed you are to helping creative projects succeed.

    I would say Brandon is a highly skilled editor who is also a genuinely great person to work with. Beyond just being friendly and professional, you are passionate about what you do. I’d tell those who are looking to work with Brandon that they can give you their project and actually have peace of mind, knowing that you will treat the work with as much care as they do and deliver something exceptional without any added stress!
