About Wahoo Films

It’s rare that someone finds their passion at such a young age and follows it dogmatically, unwilling to be diverted by adolescent whims. But just like her images, Michelle stayed focused.

She went to USC Cinema and landed a job at National Geographic, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Showtime before she founded Wahoo Films in 2005.

Michelle’s genuine passion for her customers is evident in the videos she produces for them.

Gaining decades of sales and marketing experience in various industries and as an entrepreneur, Henry leveraged these skills to seek new adventures and opportunities.

He found a home in Bend while also pursuing his dream of becoming a storyteller with Wahoo Films for the past five years.

Dedicated to every partnership Wahoo grows, he’s discovered connecting with customers and the community through quality storytelling has been the journey he’s been seeking when he first took that leap of faith.

After four years of essay writing as a Film Theory major at Harvard, Bubba decided it was time to make a few films of his own.

For the next five years, he traveled to over fifteen countries as part of the EF Education First production crew while capturing inspiring stories and honing his craft as a visual storyteller.

Bubba brings the same passion to every project – working till every shot, cut, and keyframe is just right.

Buster got his start traveling the world as a DP, most recently with National Geographic, while honing his eye with a 4k camera and drone to capture unique perspectives of surfing and kiteboarding for national TV.

He applies that same rock-star ability to create stunning visuals and compelling stories for our customers who really enjoy working with him.

Zac is an Emmy-nominated cinematographer and is known for his feature and documentary work for clients such as Discovery, History Channel, NBC, ABC, National Geographic, Animal Planet, General Electric, BBC, MTV, Disney, and many others.

He loves to tell stories and work creatively with others; his specialties include multi-camera productions, motion control time-lapse, underwater, drone, and gimbal - all accomplished with a stylized eye for lighting.

Zac has garnered extensive experience as a director of photography over the last 20 years.

Five years ago, Sean cycled up to the Wahoo Films office to see if we were hiring. His modest approach impressed us soon after watching his videos and learning about his degree in film/video.

Over the years, Sean has become increasingly versatile in his skills with animation and video color-stylizing.

Sean loves to edit while traveling the country with his road dog Bear in his custom van that not only serves as his ride but also his very own solar-powered editing suite complete with a doggy bed.
