Benjamin Otto is a videographer/marketer based in Phoenix, and working everywhere.

Since the day I was born, cameras have been a part of my life. From the clunky JVC VHS camcorder my dad carried around on his shoulder to document the day I was born to the point and shoot Sony Handycam I spent childhood weekends shooting superhero movies in my backyard with my friends. I love art, but could never draw or paint. I love music, but wasn’t a great guitar player. Most of all though I love a good story, and nothing captures and conveys beauty, drama, fun, excitement, and raw emotion like the power of video. 

Throughout high school and college, I was always “that guy” in my friend group with the camera, constantly documenting the adventures we had, preserving them to watch, share and laugh at the next day and to stumble upon years later to recall moments—sights, sounds and memories—that could’ve been lost.  

In 2019, I graduated from the University of Arizona with a B.A. in Communication, Information Science, and Electronic Society and entered the corporate world as a marketing professional. Three years later, after working my way up to Associate Marketing Manager for a $3.2B company, I decided to combine my passion for video and storytelling with the knowledge and experience I gained in the corporate world to start a freelance video production company. 

That’s my story. Now let’s tell yours.
