About Me

I am privileged in my line of work to tell your stories. Here’s a look at who is behind the camera.

As an 8yr old kid, I always wanted to make movies. My friends and I would sneak VHS tapes from our parents that we could record over and find any excuse to create a magical piece of art that would move someone in someway; Whether it was a Drama told in the form of a Lego Movie or a one of a kind Kung Fu Action Film with advanced Special FX from the late 1990’s; Whatever it was, we found a story to tell and we told it.

As I grew in age and maturity*, my love for movies and making them grew stronger and stronger. Middle School came and so did girl trouble. So… In High School, my friends and I decided to make movies about that girl trouble with all the teenage angst of a John Hughs film. (We also made a sweet Michael Jackson Music Video remake that you can view here) Our videos were quickly becoming “all the rage.”

 

All the fame and High School Glory was quickly offset by the treacherous void that was Community College. I joined in on the fun for a semester but ultimately decided an “on the job” learning approach was more my school of thought. I have not looked back since. (But please feel free to check out this beauty created for my Acting 101 Class.)

Instead of learning in a classroom, my best friend and I dove right in and started a company. We were doing it! Finally! We teamed up with several different companies doing music videos, commercials, educational videos and even had some fun on YouTube. Each endeavor we signed up for was not quite as it had seemed and our young nature was easily taken advantage of. We lost our studio, lost direction, and worst of all we temporarily lost our friendship. (Spoiler: We grew back together and now we collaborate on different projects.)

 

Back to the story. Now at it alone and determined to do it better, I took an educational path into lighting and photography working for a photo studio for several years. All the while, my passion for video was burning deep down and put to use on occasional fun side-projects. Somehow, I kept finding ways to create! While I loved, and still love photography, video is my true love and I couldn’t have it on the backburner any longer.

 

I had to go back.

January 1, 2017: I started a new company! Jimmy Bush Creative: The most uncreative name for a creative company. It was a perfect oxymoron match. With all I had learned in my different adventures and with the love and support of my wife and family, I knew this was my time.

I’m so honored to call myself a videographer! I’m even more proud to produce videos of such amazing people with totally incredible stories. I SERIOUSLY LOVE MY JOB!

Because all good stories have a moral: Despite the world telling us what we can and can’t do, my friends and I continue to do what we love and we make a living at it. If that isn’t a Rocky IV story, I don’t know what is.
