Get to know me
A full-time freelancer videographer, educator, writer, & producer since 2018, I hope my works speaks for itself.
Tyler Shown
BAND VIDEOGRAPHER
WHERE IT ALL STARTED.
Owner | Jolly Mule Productions
Board President & Creative Director | Steel City Music Showcase
Summer Staff Videographer | Aspen Music School & Festival 2024
Since 2018, the music industry has taken me to New Orleans, Red Rocks, Portugal, Philadelphia, London, and quite a few in-between.
Wedding Videographer
NEARLY A DECADE AT THE SIDE OF SO MANY BRIDES & GROOMS
I STILL CRY
…and dance.
My team only takes 15-20 weddings a year, but you’re sure to see them on the dance floor, camera in-hand, capturing those once-in-a-lifetimes.
Traveler
27 COUNTRIES AND COUNTING.
THAILAND, NEW ZEALAND, LONDON AND THE PROJECTS THAT TAKE ME THERE
I often seek out projects abroad, seasonally, preferring to stay 1-2 months in any given location.
production
ORGANIZING EVENTS & CONCERTS SINCE MY TEENS, I CONSULT FOR VARIOUS MUSIC & FILM FESTIVALS, NON-PROFITS, AND COMMERCIAL ENDEAVORS ALIKE.
IF YOU’RE ONE OF MY FILM STUDENTS, YOU CAN CALL ME “MR. T”
JOLLY MULE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT GIVING BACK, RAISING EXPECTATIONS, AND INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF DO-GOODERS.
“SMILES GO MILES”
Soccer (Football)
I’VE PLAYED MY WHOLE LIFE, REACHED SEMI-PRO STATUS, AND SEEK OUT THE BEAUTIFUL GAME EVERY LOCATION I GO.
To my delight, I’ve played 2v2 games on the streets of St. Petersburg, barefoot games on dirt fields in Chiang Mai, and as I certified Footy Addict, roamed the various pitches of London.
IT WASN’T UNTIL RECENT YEARS THAT I COMBINED MY LOVE OF THE SPORT & CAMERA PROWESS INTO BENEFICIAL ALLIES.
MORE THAN GOALS
My goals and passions change with the wind; My freedom of life has taken me to 27 countries, meeting people all along the way. I hope they all meet one day, and maybe my videos can be that bridge. My platforms are used to spread positivity, motivation, and entertainment. If not I, then who?
