Towards the end of my college career, I found my passion with creating micro-documentaries, showcasing the talents of local artists and their inspiring creations. Following 15 years of attempting to perfect my skills in commercial photography and video production, I yearned to produce another passion project featuring an artist that inspires me. My mission was not only to display the extraordinary artwork of Kevin, but also to give a glimpse of the individual behind the art. Fueled by the top creatives in the Evansville, IN area, I harnessed that collective energy to create a featured artist documentary, made by artists. It leaves audiences captivated and intrigued by the curious artwork of Kevin Titzer. All of my documentaries and commercial video projects have included local crew, artists and musicians.
