DIRECTOR OF MARKETING
Kevin Echemendia is a filmmaker in Tampa Bay.
Kevin Echemendia, a filmmaker, believes in story-first filmmaking based on craft, pace, and trust. We don’t treat production like a list of things to do at Two Stories Media. We act like it’s leadership. That way of thinking comes through in every shot, every edit, and every relationship we develop with a client.
Kevin Echemendia has been working on short films, corporate events, and music videos for the past ten years. He started our company with a simple idea: brands should have stories that are as good as those in movies, and creators should have a crew that can get things done without any problems. That belief has informed how we design, shoot, and produce brand media that holds attention and earns trust from Tampa to the greater Tampa Bay area.
Kevin Echemendia has experience as a filmmaker and a creative background.
Every filmmaker has their own style. Kevin’s signature comes from using both his storytelling skills and his real-world production discipline. He knows how to discover the emotional center of a scene and how to keep a set moving when time is short.
That balance is important because most clients need more than simply a video. They need to be clear. They need to make a plan. They need to be consistent. Because of this, we plan our projects such that the message is safe yet there is still room for the parts that make a work feel alive.
Kevin has worked on a lot of different types of projects, like short films, corporate events, and music videos. Short films help in pacing and directing performances. Corporate events let people make better judgments about coverage and solve problems on the spot. Music videos make visual rhythm and style sharper. All of those experiences build a filmmaker who can confidently lead a marketing shoot and still develop something that looks like a movie.
What Kevin Echemendia’s job as a filmmaker looks like in real life
On the surface, a powerful output looks easy. But the team does the job ahead of time, so it stays simple. Kevin starts by getting ready, then he stays cool on set, and last he finishes with accuracy in post.
We start by saying what the point of the essay is. Who is it for? What do they need to feel or know? What should they do next? We then use those answers to help us make the creative plan.
On the day of production, we only use photographs that help tell the tale, not ones that look nice. That means framing on purpose. Audio that is clear. Lighting that makes real people look good. Coverage that cuts cleanly. That way of thinking makes editing a creative process instead of a rescue operation.
The goal stays the same after production. We keep the message clear and the pace quick. We also make sure that the brand is consistent, so the final material seems like it fits in with the rest of the campaign instead of being a stand-alone video.
TSM is home to the best videographers, editors, and photographers.
Kevin started Two Stories Media as a creative team under one roof since quality and speed depend on being on the same page. The job gets better when video, photos, editing, and creative direction are all in the same place. It gets easier to do. The experience of the client gets better.
This is why we have skilled videographers, editors, and photographers working together as a team. We speak the same language when it comes to producing. We have the same standard for quality. We also know how assets will be used when they are delivered, so we plan for marketing realities from the beginning.
We can get both video and photos for your brand media in one seamless way if your team needs them. We can set up the shot and edit it so that it tells a tale that moves ahead. We can make a production plan that grows with your needs if you need material for a launch, a campaign, or a long-term library.
The kind of projects this article helps with
Kevin’s work and our team’s work help brands who seek content that stands out. Some projects need a movie-like brand story. Some people demand event coverage that turns one day into months of advertising. Some people need content for the web and social media that is based on performance.
We also help creators and groups that need dependability beyond all else. When deadlines are important and stakeholders need to know what’s going on, a well-organized production process is just as important as the final graphics. That’s where our team shines.
Why Tampa Bay businesses like our method
There are a lot of people in Tampa Bay who can film. Next, brands search for leaders. They want a staff that can help make decisions, cut down on uncertainty, and make a final product that feels like it was planned.
Kevin is very clear when he leads. He knows both the artistic and business sides of things. He recognizes that content ought to do something, not just be there. We make deliverables that clients may use on web pages, social media, presentations, internal communications, and when they roll out a campaign.
