So how does a former IT guy find happiness? The answer is starting his own video biz. Yes, Bill Freud from Freud Media Productions has found his niche in using his technical skills to step up his video game. When referencing his new life pursuit Bill states, “I am in a new pond that is both wide and deep.” We all know that is true…everyone is looking for a good company to collaborate with to produce videos as YouTube has become a prominent social media outlet for messaging.
Freud Media Productions is the umbrella company for two arenas: First a non-commercial, community service opportunity entitled Far More Coloradowhere he is an award winning Producer of what Bill calls “oral history.” In this forum he interviews those in Colorado who are making a difference. Bill produces in conjunction with Denver Open Media, a public access television studio that provides equipment and educates community members in developing their own original, local programming. In December 2013, Bill won the Top-Rated Denver Open Media (DOM) Show Independent Voice Award for his show Heartfelt Christmas. Bill explained that, “The DOM studios and broadcast facilities allow community programming to reach a larger audience. My philosophy toward my work is to be as prolific as I can, putting content out there and not holding it too tightly; we’re looking to increase viewership.”
Bill’s commercial venture Far More Band Videos, LLC is both income producing and his passion that stems from his relationship with a saxophone which he played for over 10 years as well as the fact that his brother has been a lifelong concert clarinetist. Music and art being a large part of his life, he enjoys being connected to these industries. In producing music video Bill shared, “I like the fact that someone brings the music and then we collaborate on the direction of a video production.” Far More Band Videos offers “professional, affordable video recording services so that bands can make the videos they need and want.”
Bill’s recent endeavor as a sponsor for the OWN IT Music Mastermind series, a collaborative and well sponsored monthly networking event hosted by Metropolitan State University’s CREATE MSU Denver, puts him smack in the middle of the music and art scene. Far More Band Video’s joins the sponsorship team to bring videography as well as potential broadcasting.
