We are a small but mighty collection of thinkers, dreamers, and creatives born and raised here in the Permian Basin.
Our story began with a pandemic. We wanted to make ends meet while the world shut down. Just so happens we stumbled into launching a business, turning a hobby into something more.
At the outset of 2020, Luke McDonald was barely into his brand new career as a landman in Midland, TX. The work was great and seemed to suit him well and then the Covid-19 pandemic shut the whole world down. This meant that he was no longer getting any calls to work as a landman. Luckily, Luke had been a videographer for many years as a hobby as well as a way to make a few extra bucks here and there. The unprecedented situation he soon found himself in led him to turn his side hustle of video production into a temporary full-time gig.
It didn’t take long before the high-demand for video production and marketing in Midland filled up every minute of Luke’s time. Soon, his wife, Lee, was brought on to help with account management and finance. The husband and wife team slowly grew the list of one-off projects into a fully formed production company. The final missing piece of the puzzle was completed when Adam Reed joined the team in 2022. Adam brought an expertise in storytelling and a strong background and education in video production that helped Filmhunter Media be able to handle any project that came their way.
When Filmhunter Media began, we were just a video production company specializing in using the moving image to tell stories and evoke emotion. What we soon found, though, was that our videos for companies were only as successful as the plan to share and distribute them. We would often work with marketing teams at larger companies, or be contracted to do video work for marketing agencies, but the success of our content was not consistent because it was completely dependent upon whoever was responsible for the strategy and implementation of the content, itself.
That was when we decided to take a more active role in how our content was shared by branching out into digital marketing. By being a part of the process, from inception to final delivery, Filmhunter Media is more able to deliver success to our clients by making sure that the content we make is not just effective and moving, but is also distributed in the most efficient and effective way.
