It’s all about the story, and we love to tell stories.

 

OUR STORY

Imagine if Batman and Superman teamed up to shoot movies . . .  the Joker would run wild, it would be utter chaos, mass hysteria! That’s why they leave the filmmaking to Samuel and Louis.

Check out an interview with the Hampshire Film Festival that we gave for Moving Day.

 

Our Company

Samuel Z. P. Thomas and Louis Hunter first collaborated in film school over a decade ago.  Independently, they’ve worn many different hats in the industry: producer, director, writer, editor. However, their most satisfying success has been together – creating films and videos for the festival circuit and their clients.

Ourselves

 Samuel Z. P. Thomas Director / Editor … Samuel has a natural feel for story flow that makes him a great fit for both the director’s chair and the edit bay. He currently works in production and post for a major internet broadcaster, and has formed Ogopogo Film Co., with his film school buddy, Louis Hunter. In addition to creating award-winning films he enjoys playing Texas Hold ‘Em (even when he doesn’t win), and he is blessed by the love of his wife and three boys.

Louis Hunter Producer / Writer … Cast as a loveable but cantankerous old man in his 5th grade play, Louis found some big laughs and a love for performance. This evolved into a love for storytelling. After film school, a stint in television news, and other adventures, he’s come back to film. He and Samuel (his producing partner since college) have formed Ogopogo Film Co, a production company dedicated to connecting characters and audience. He has also seen life come full circle – becoming a loveable but cantankerous husband and father of two.

 

So what is an Ogopogo?

A Canadian Sea Monster.

What does that have to do with film and video?  Nothing.  It’s a cool word.  And a reminder that with good storytelling, something lies beneath.
