Production Company FIN Studios Launches New Talent Slate

Emmy-nominated, award-winning production company FIN Studios has debuted its first talent roster of visionary directors, editors and AI-enhanced artists who work in concert with its collective of producers, sound designers, colourists, finishers and developers. Its studio offerings and powerhouse talent slate serve the ever-increasing needs of modern agencies and brands. FIN also introduced today a new website and web presence.

FIN’s roster boasts combined experience from spots and branded content, to feature and documentary films, photography, social media content and AI video designed to push the boundaries of branded content and create engaging stories across an array of formats.

Directors include Travis Hanour, Mike Medoway, Gage&Betterton (Jenny Gage & Tom Betterton), Emmy winners The Storkels (Bryan & Amy Storkel), Matthew Pollock, Steve Davis and Trevor Gourley.

FIN’s editorial roster includes multi-Clio winning lead editor Ling Ly, Mike Bertin, Billy Sacladan, Micah Levin and Volkert Besseling.

FIN Studios also welcomes a growing collective of AI speciality artists under the direction of creative director Damien Nemire-Pepe, who oversees FIN’s growing motion design, VFX and AI video teams.

FIN’s roster spans the full cinematic spectrum:

• A former D1 athlete and art director, Travis Hanour is known for his visceral and visual approach to sports, lifestyle, and documentary work with legends like Rory McIlroy, Saquon Barkley and Roger Federer. Travis’ most recent work, a 17-minute documentary film for TaylorMade Golf, has over 12M views on YouTube.
• Award-winning director Mike Medoway toggles between elements of verité realism and cinematic polish. A director and photographer, his client list includes Lexus, MLS, Under Armour, Seiko, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the U.S. Air Force.
• Wife and husband director / DP duo, Gage/Betterton (Jenny Gage & Tom Betterton) come from the world of New York art and fashion photography, working with heavyweights like Vogue, W Magazine and the New York Times Magazine. Since, they created the acclaimed documentary feature 'All This Panic', feature films, and commercial work for brands like Ember, Olay, The Gap, Dove and more.
• The Storkels (Bryan & Amy Storkel), also a wife and husband directing duo, are Emmy-winning documentarians whose unique style blends narrative and documentary storytelling with a distinctive take on American culture. Fan and critic favorites like 'The Pez Outlaw' and 'Bitconned' led to their recent foray into scripted comedy with the HBO Series 'It’s Florida, Man.'
• Matthew Pollock is a Cannes-winning director who honed his comedy chops at CollegeHumor and on television shows like 'Adam Ruins Everything' and the absurdist nerd hit 'Smartypants'. Matt’s commercial work includes brands like Mentos, Amazon, McDonald's, Adobe and Lays.
• Former creative director / copywriter, Trevor Gourley, has penned spots for Pizza Hut, The Toronto Blue Jays, Expedia and EA Sports. Trevor has brought his pitch-perfect comedic sensibilities to the director's chair for Kraft, Priceline, Remax, Harvey’s, Budweiser and more.
• Steve Davis is a multifaceted director and AI artist with an editorial background, and is now a go-to generative AI filmmaker. His work lives at the intersection of emotion and spectacle as Steve creates stories for brands like Pilgrim's Chicken, the NBA, the Miami Marlins and ESPN.

As deliverable lists have grown from 10s to 100s, FIN Studios’ new offering provides agencies and their clients with a comprehensive approach that can scale as needed to match content needs.
