Tyson Ely

I've always been passionate about expressing myself through art, music, photography, and film. As a kid, I spent hours using a VHS camcorder, a VCR, and a tape deck to edit together my own shorts, igniting a lifelong love for filmmaking.

My approach blends both the technical and the creative. I enjoy the detailed, behind-the-scenes work of planning, editing and producing. At the same time, my artistic side fuels my storytelling and vision, giving me a balanced perspective that I believe enhances every project I work on.

I'm drawn to big ideas and bold concepts, particularly those that are out of the ordinary and out of this world. Sci-fi with a bit of a horror twist is my favorite genre - I love exploring stories that push the boundaries of imagination. Through my films I aim to entertain, and if I'm lucky, inspire you to think beyond the everyday.
