What is Film Trips?

Turn your creativity into bookable services and experiences

Clients aren’t just booking creators, they’re booking outcomes. Here are a few ways you can package your work:

Choose your content creation tool

Decide how you want to document your content services or experiences:

  • Mobile Phone: Perfect for authentic, social-first clips and candid moments.

  • Professional Camera: Ideal for high-quality portraits and cinematic visuals.

  • Both: Combine tools for a dynamic mix of content.

Your tools shape the flow of your listings and the type of content you’ll create and share with your client.

Define what type of content you’ll provide

Your content deliverables help set clear expectations and influence the content service or experience you offer and what a client receives. You decide what’s included.

  • Short-Form Video Clips:Curated social-ready video clips that capture the vibe and energy of the film trip experience.

  • Highlight Video Reels:One or more polished reels showcasing the Film Trip experience.

  • Long-Form Video:A vlog-style, show-style, podcast, or documentary-style video experience.

There’s plenty of content delivery platforms you can use such as Pic-Time, Frame.io, Pixieset, and more, for a more professional touch.

Meet the Founder

"I have an event coming up, do you know a good photographer or videographer I can book?"

I've spent 10 years as a creative professional hearing that question from event organizers. They're busy managing logistics and most creatives don't know how to get in front of the right decision-makers. The discovery problem has always existed, but the infrastructure to solve it hasn't. So I decided to build it.

Film Trips is a marketplace ecosystem that gives you direct access to find, connect, and book local creative professionals, while giving talented photographers, videographers, and creatives, like my wife Zebrina, the visibility they deserve. The future of content creation is changing and we’re collectively paving the way.
