I’m Griffin.
I am a useful creative person.
I’ve run a small creative studio with my partners since 2016.
I’ve managed millions of advertising dollars, I've sent the sternest emails you’ve ever seen. I’ve worked the most sluggish of agencies, the most incompetent of executives, the most delusional of artists. At this point, there isn’t a cinema camera system I haven’t used at least once. I’ve worked over a decade to develop my eye, my expertise and my attitude. I’m a cinematographer by training, a reluctant business owner and head of production by necessity.
As a DP and Camera Operator, I’ve shot commercials, music videos, features, social media content, true crime documentaries, virtual reality 360 degree capture, virtual production, extended reality and more.
Someone even asked me to make virtual reality porn once.
Anyway.
Let me know if you need anything.

01 THE FAMILY
thefamily.tv
since 2016
since 2016
This has been my main focus since 2016. What began as a front for two guys with computers grew into three guys with computers that have done roughly two million dollars of business since 2020. Is it a world changing amount of money? Absolutely not. Is it miles away from our wildest expectations? Yes.
The Family, to me, is defined more by it’s range than it’s scope or size. While we certainly made rent and paid ourselves by making silly content for agencies, the company was founded with the intent to push ourselves into mediums we were totally unfamiliar with.
Through sheer force of will, luck, and plenty of lying, we broke into virtual reality, tour visual content creation and VJing, LED Wall installation, and eventually virtual production. Our client list spans a vast range, from background visuals for Joey Bada$$ and T-Pain, to corportate B2B marketing for Walmart Media Group and Paypal. From PSAs with Blueland to a LED wall build in SoHo for Laverée.
If we thought a project would be interesting, we’d figure it out.
I’ve run The Family with my founding partner Steve Dabal since 2016. Sebastian Clore-Gronenborn joined us in late 2020.
Skills Attained: How to operate a business at a profit, how to navigate complicated client politics, how to stand my ground, how to defend my people, how to read a contract.
