BIO
Brent Dey launched his video career with a pro bono video for an Atlanta homeless shelter which brought in $230,000 the first night it was screened. This success was followed by decades creating imaginative and emotionally powerful work for Fortune 500 companies like KPMG, Georgia Aquarium and the Savannah College of Art & Design often drawing on his experience as a founding member of Atlanta’s Whole World improvisational comedy troupe and director of Atlanta’s independent Dailies film collaborative.
Before video, Brent studied journalism at the University of Iowa and then graduated to write speeches for executives at AFLAC and brochures for InterContinental Hotels Group, so his storytelling always has the thoughtfulness, structure and persuasive quality of a writer. This is often revealed in the patient and thoughtful ways he handles on-camera interviews and how he frames his BROLL photography as punctuation points to an edit.
Brent’s knack for strategizing and sculpting a story is matched by the incredible skill he’s developed as a Director of Photography and drone operator. His production kit is designed for easy transportation, quick setup and powerful cinematic results. He is a team player, a keen listener a hard worker and ready to go wherever your story takes us.
