Hi, I’m BJ Adkins, award winning videographer and graphic designer based in Dothan, AL. Prior to entering into the video, I've had 12 years graphic design experience, 35 years photography and 10+ years computer systems administrator experience (Mac, PC, Linux, Solaris). Once I started the video and multimedia, I fell in love with video, filmmaking – the entire process. I pretty much eat, sleep and dream video. I’m detail oriented and somewhat a perfectionist. My primary goal is to produce the best content for my “client”, regardless of where they are from. I consider everyone I am creating a video for a client – businesses, individuals or groups. And I employ the same sequence to all of them so that I can reproduce professional results every time from concept to finished product. This includes filming, sound, actors, scripts – every part of the process. I would be honored and excited to have the opportunity to film and edit videos and all the other related duties with other team members at the HOTH. I’m able to work alone or in teams and work on tight deadlines. My prior experiences as supervisor, team leader, and business owner has carried over into my film making. I take a lot of pride in every video I have my name on, in any capacity.

I spent so much of my adolescence dreaming about moving away from my hometown. I wanted, so desperately, to be part of the bustle of New York City that I regarded everything about my little corner of Northeast Florida as subpar. Needless to say, I moved to the Big Apple as soon as I could. I found myself, however, missing my little/big city by the sea. Less than a year after I left, I found myself back in Jacksonville, determined to embrace the very place I dreamt of escaping from so long ago. I found a job at my local PBS station which forced me to discover Jacksonville's hidden treasures. As an associate producer of "Hometown" I had to produce, direct, and edit short pieces about local people, places, and events which were special to Jacksonville. Slowly but surely, I started falling in love with my hometown.
