Keith Olwell

I make award winning media for brands and agencies producing concept to completion, production, or post production. I am also co-founder of women’s right organization SheVotes100 which is a leader in celebrating women’s right to vote and emerging equality. As a creative partner to brands and agencies I deliver concepts, writing, production, and post production. Most recently I shot promotional photography and video materials for Googles Tap and Pay in the NYC Subway system, edited a show open for NBC/Oxygen “Method of a Killer”, and attended the FUSE 2019 conference where SheVotes100’s debut of protest posters occurred. In the past I’ve worked for Filmcore, Red Car, and Bug.

What our clients say

“You need someone who can approach an edit with a fine balance of feeling, forensics and fortitude,” says Creative Director Shiloh Gray of VML. “Mad scientist meets poet. Someone to define the undefinable for the uninitiated and make a moment feel permanent. Keith is that someone.”

"I've had the pleasure and privilege of working with Keith to produce three video commercials from inception. First, Keith is a great listener and he tries to fully understand his client's needs. Second, Keith is attentive. He'll work with your deadlines and communicates updates/issues very well. He'll also go the extra mile of making in-person meetings, so that there's some face time. On a final note, Keith makes friends wherever he goes! Shops nearby were welcoming him with open arms, letting him take extra video footage and more iterations to get it perfect. Keith is a great person to work with and the end products is always of high quality! "

"I have always enjoyed working with Keith as he always plusses the creative delivers a top notch job and is a pleasure to work with. Always enjoy to work with Keith and I know that when I deliver footage to him we will always come back with the goods and more."
