The Story of Storious Films
Life has a rather uncanny way of lending perspective, especially when you're least expecting it. Every captured frame at Storious Films is more than just a professional video production endeavor - it's borne out of personal transformation.
There was a time when the corporate world's rhythm dictated my beat, and my lens witnessed stories of brands and businesses. Yet, beneath that professional veneer, an undercurrent yearned for the personal, the intimate. I longed to zoom in on the narratives of everyday folk, tales brimming with triumph, despair, resilience, and love.
And then, life thought it'd be kind enough to throw in a plot twist. With health scares knocking at my door, I teetered on the precipice of the age-old existential question, "What am I doing?".
Well, as it turns out, nothing says 'rethink life choices' quite like a health scare and an unwelcome rendezvous with your mortality.
As I grappled with the unpredictability of life, a light bulb moment struck - the magic wasn't in the 'story,' it was in the 'us.' The two-letter word promises a galaxy of emotions, experiences, and existence. And thus, in a delightful play of words, the 'Story of Us' morphed into 'Storious.'

Age, as I have come to realize, brings along wisdom and perspective, qualities seldom found in youth. As my life continued, my children becoming young adults, and my own experiences took on layers of complexities, I discovered a unique advantage. I wasn't just a filmmaker or a video producer anymore; I was a seasoned life voyager who had walked a mile in their shoes. This understanding allowed me to delve deeper, to capture the nuances of life, love, loss, and everything in between with an empathetic lens.
Every personal narrative I have been privileged to capture on video since has been more than a job. It has been a rendezvous with the human spirit, a testament to the unyielding resilience of mankind, and an insight into the legacy we leave behind. Each film has been a mirror reflecting life itself.
Storious Films doesn’t just produce videos that document memories; we chronicle the intricate journey of life. We create memoirs of resilience and triumph, stories of ordinary folk leading extraordinary lives. Why, you ask? Because these are the tales that matter, the narratives that connect us, the chronicles that remind us of our shared journey in this grand spectacle called life.
So, dear reader, as I continue to navigate this fascinating voyage of capturing the 'Story of Us,' I invite you to be part of the journey. After all, everyone has a tale to tell, and who better captures your life’s narrative than someone who’s lived a fair share of his own? Let's tell your story together, for the real wealth, as it turns out, lies in how you will be remembered.
The story of Storious Films itself is an ever-evolving narrative, a testament to life, love, and the enduring human spirit. Stay tuned, for the journey promises to be a thrilling ride.
