Hollywood trained, then forged his own path

A background directing projects on Showtime, Hulu, during the Super Bowl, and even for the Olympics… until, Brent left the city and forged his own path.

Proven Track Record

Brent has personally directed over 350 client projects in 30+ countries. And as you have surely learned, proven experience leads to a smoother experience.

Featured Work

Most of the videos for CEOs were shorter and faster (see the case study section), but occasionally I’ll do longer content when the story and strategy dictates it. A longer list of videos for clients can be found in the case study section. Here are a few highlights:

Free Burma Rangers (Theatrical Film)
The film Free Burma Rangers was a labor of love, and the result was a 3000% increase in support for the cause in the film. Amazing what a well-told story can do. That's probably not the type of project I would make for you, and that's ok! I wanted to mention it because I'm proud of it. For most clients I use the skills I've developed on big films (like above) and apply that expertise to making your business look awesome.

My Story

Hi, I’m Brent Gudgel (“B” for short) and I’ve been a video strategist and director for 25 years. I have a family, a great community around me, and a need to maximize my time – Maybe you can relate? If you have a business that could use a blessing – or maybe you need free up your time yet increase your impact – I wonder if my video strategies can help you get there… 

Why me? Well, early in my career I found fast “success”  when my first feature film got on Showtime TV. Then I did a comedy series for Hulu (featuring Kristen Bell, Seth McFarlin), took photos of celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, and began writing a sci-fi movie. But, the culture of Hollywood started to make me feel sick to my stomach. The constant treadmill of the fame ladder was exhausting. So I jumped off of it.

I shifted my attention to making videos for faithful leaders that needed the right boost to break through to the next level. Why? I wanted to make a difference.

Goods & services. If you’re a business leader you are likely either providing customers good things (that’s why it’s called goods!), or serving customers well (services!). These types of organizations change the world. This is who I wanted to help.

So, I dove into making videos for visionary leaders, developing a few highly strategic yet simple strategies for businesses to use video to grow. I called it a “video growth framework”, and it turns out it could be adapted to almost any type of business.

$1 billion! This is probably the statistic you want first – My videos and marketing strategies have helped visionary leaders get to the next level of growth and bring in over $1 billion in revenue. (Ask me for case studies!). I love helping businesses use video to get the momentum they need to grow well. And it turns out I’m pretty good at it.

What’s real interesting is that it usually takes less time than you might think. My current favorite video strategy takes less than an hour of a client’s time a month, yet can generate exponential growth. For certain businesses it’s a no-brainer.

Only 1 hour of your time, per month. That’s it… 

If you work with me, 1 hour of your time is all it takes to get videos that can bring the growth and margin you need. And I’d like to bless you with that.

Please feel free to explore my website, connect with me on social media, and reach out when you’re ready to explore whether video can help you get the growth you need.

Onward + Upward,

Brent Gudgel
