Discover Top Fixers in Tacoma, Washington, USA

There are only two major documentary shows produced in Ukraine that I haven't been part of. Netflix's 'Winter on fire' and BBC's Ukrainian episode of the 'Top gear'. The first one didn't need me being based at the real-time footage filmed by more than 100 video streamers of the Maidan Revolution in 2014. The second one turned out to be dull. 'The Russian Woodpecker' about Chernobyl zone which was also advertised as something big coming from Ukraine is more of a sensationalist trick rather than a documentary. Each and every big Western documentary production company working in Ukraine has hired me to do the job. Major works are listed on my IMDB profile and at my agency's website.

My name is Kevin Balmer, aka Diggable Monkey. I've been in the freelance business of video production for the past 13 years and I've witnessed the vast evolution of the video media landscape in that time. I've done mostly short story documentaries with a good dose of commercial work. My company brand is heavily associated with the arts and design arena, with a bit of subscription-based online course development. The last few projects I've completed were with the Oregon Historical Society, the Regional Arts and Culture Council, and the NW Blacksmiths Association. I've also done some storytelling video work with commercial developers and architectural firms here in Portland. I can execute on all levels of the business from negotiating and securing the work to the production and delivery of the end product. I would eventually like to lead a production team and make inspirational stories to help save the planet. I've currently just finished my third year as a full-time Media Producer at Arcimoto, a three-wheel electric EV manufacturer in Eugene, OR.

A native of Mexico City, I am a seasoned story teller with over 18 years experience working on major brands, both in Latin America and in the United States. Growing up in a city of over 24 million people has taught me many things, including how to get along with other people. Maybe that’s why I love the collaborative nature of my work. When the creative juices are flowing between like minded people is when the work is at its best, and I prefer to be right there in the middle of it. I have little use for the vacuums formed by creative despotism. I love film, photography, art, food, beer and of course music. In fact, music is probably the most influential thing in my life. Just like a good edit is made great by the right music and the right beat my life is constantly being improved with the addition of just the right soundtrack. I love the outdoors, especially any activity that keeps me in tune with the rhythms of nature. Snowboarding and surfing top my list, but I’m usually up for anything and to keep the muscles and joints ready to go I hit the yoga studio while enjoying city life. I try and live my life like taking on a double-black diamond run in knee-deep powder; laidback and fun, but intense and focused all at the same time. I prefer hugs to handshakes and I never leave home without some good music and an open mind.

I am a Pacific Northwest based filmmaker with a passion for the outdoors and a passion for telling stories. I am also a FAA certified sUAS pilot (drone) and an enthusiast. I strive to capture perspectives that are unique and compelling. I operate in a personal and laid back way often connecting with my clients and subjects to make sure I get the most natural responses and interactions. While I place a high importance on letting the action unfold with minimal interference, I am not afraid to harken back to my work in dramatic pieces to direct the subjects to ensure that the best shot is captured.

Starting my television production career in Austin, TX in 1997, and after 20 years of television production experience, it's taught me one very valuable lesson: that THIS business is very unpredictable. That unpredictability is what keeps it exciting and drives me to each project. Shooting and editing promotional marketing packages, athletic highlight reels, behind the scenes, mini-docs and shooting on location, I excel at the "run & gun" ENG style shooting, adapting to many different situations and locations. Editing under tight deadlines and being a one-man band, from the first day of shooting to the final delivery is what I excel. Equipped with the latest technology for video, sound and editing, when you need it produced, shot and edited--hire ASF SHOOTS.
