Our Story 👯
Ol’ Richie & Ready 👆
Director & Cinematographer
As longtime filmmakers and tech enthusiasts, we've always had a fascination with the people who have shaped the world we live in today. We grew up with the birth of the internet and watched as the industry exploded with innovation and change.
But as we've grown older, we've come to realize that the stories of the people who built the industry are at risk of being lost.
This crystalized when Ready was asked by Jeri Ellsworth, CEO and Co-Founder of Tilt Five, to join the annual dinner gathering known as “Analog Affociandos.” Jeri had wanted to capture some of the legends and tall tales from the attendees in an intimate environment, and after spending an evening hearing some of these incredible stories, Ready saw an opportunity to bring this wonderful experience to more folks — to capture the industry's most influential figures, before it's too late.
So whether you're a tech titan looking to preserve your legacy or a family member hoping to capture the stories of a loved one, we're here to help. We're passionate about what we do and we can't wait to help you tell your story.
