About Sub-Zero Productions

Where are We?

We're located in the Erickson Agency building at 502 W. Caledonia Ave. in Hillsboro, ND.

How It Began

As a sophomore in high school, my family got a Sony digital camcorder for Christmas along with some basic video editing software. For the rest of the winter vacation, I messed around filming random items to try and put together some brief videos.

Needless to say, my first attempts were depressing, at best, and would make some of the inane videos on YouTube look Academy Award-worthy

However, later that year, after some more experimenting and lots of practice, I put together a video for my English class that my teacher really enjoyed, and that became what I would call my first real "video" of any length with editing.

That summer my father, the coordinator for North Dakota SADD, suggested making a North Dakota SADD video he could show at assemblies and other SADD meetings. I said, "Sure, why not?"

Six SADD videos and many slideshows, commercials, promotional videos, weddings, and recreational videos later, Sub-Zero Productions has grown from the interest generated by simply having access to a digital camcorder.

Now almost 23 years old and a graduate of the University of North Dakota, I've invested in better equipment to enhance my work and make it more appealing to our image-is-everything culture. I'm dedicated to continue my development in video production and forge a strong bond between myself and my clients. I truly care what others think of my work and I encourage feedback and any constructive criticism.

Thanks for your time!
