Playfish Media was founded in 2011, but the passion for filmmaking began long before that. Co-founder Jillian Suleski remembers, “I got my start making films in 4th grade when my family got their first home camcorder. From that point, all my class projects were recorded. Sleepovers and hang-outs with my friends consisted of creating pseudo TV shows and rap videos. I didn’t realize this could be done as an actual career until much later in life, and I am so grateful to have found this path.” It was at film school she met Nick Nelson, and the two dreamed up Playfish Media. For Nick, inspiration comes from the empathy film evokes. “I approach projects by finding the emotion and bringing it out in the best possible way,” he says, “I love my job. The process of taking a bunch of footage, music, and audio that don’t seem to work together and turning them into a cohesive piece that draws people to watch. Occasionally I wonder to myself if the office is getting dusty, but I then I realize that’s my feelings coming through my eyes.” With every project they take on, Jillian, Nick, and their growing team of passionate editors and producers are committed to the creative process and devoted to achieving excellence in video production. Playfish Media was founded to provide simple, honest-to-goodness, superior client care, incredible creativity, and a no-holds-barred attitude about getting it done right.
