BIO

Brian Smith is the Co-Owner of Cinematicfocus. Cinematicfocus was formed by Joshua Eldred and Brian Smith. Josh and Brian met at Fox17 News where they worked together for six years. Within those six years they started working together on various freelance jobs and realized that their talents meshed well together. Soon after they decided to start a small part time company called Cinematicfocus Video Productions, while at the same time keeping their full time jobs at Fox17 News. Cinematicfocus quickly grew larger and larger until they could no longer keep up with the demand of both jobs, so in late 2012 Josh and Brian both left Fox17 News and focussed on Cinematicfocus as their full time jobs. Cinematicfocus won an Emmy in 2015, and has been growing ever since.
