Pittsburgh Video Production: Selected Work
You’ve put a lot
into your work. Let’s make that show.
I’m Brett, a filmmaker in Pittsburgh. I work with businesses and nonprofits to make films that give people a clear sense of what you do and why it matters to them.
Here’s a selection of projects I’ve directed, filmed, or edited.
Product films
Milwaukee Tool
Tools are easier to understand when you see them at work. Since 2022, I’ve contributed camera work and editing to Milwaukee Tool product films, including the M18 PACKOUT charger, M12 FUEL nibbler, and REDLITHIUM USB stick light.

What do you need
this film to do?
That’s where we’ll start. I’ll get to know your organization and help you decide what’s worth showing. We’ll agree on the scope and where the finished film will be used before we shoot. You’ll know what we’re making and what it will cost.
You don’t need to arrive with a script. A conversation is a good start.
Your next project
Have something in mind?
Send me a little about your project. If one of these films is close to what you’re picturing, send that along too. Pointing at a video and saying “like that” is a perfectly good place to start.
Tell me about your project ↗Want a defined starting point? Take a look at the Video Pilot.
Social content
Short videos for social
Most shoots also give my clients a set of short vertical clips they can post the same week. Here are a few favorites.
