Upstate NY · 518 · Commercial media collective

We Hate Love.
We Love Money.

A collective of producers, videographers, editors, and AV crews who build for brands, businesses, and broadcast - not bridal parties. Corporate events, livestreams, brand stories, and enterprise content, made by people who actually like their weekends.

02 · The 518

Built in the Capital Region. Made for the people who work here.

Albany. Troy. Saratoga. Schenectady. The 518 has quietly grown one of the sharpest media ecosystems in the Northeast - and it deserves a community that says so. This collective is home for the producers, shooters, editors, and techs who keep the region's businesses, institutions, and brands looking good on camera.

Same people, same talent, same hometown pride. We just clock in for a client, not a couple. If you work in corporate, commercial, broadcast, or enterprise media anywhere in Upstate NY, this is your crew.

03 · The manifesto

Why corporate only. It is a fit thing, not a diss.

Wedding work is fine work - for the people who love it. We do not. We are built for the pace, the budgets, and the outcomes of commercial production. Same craft, different stakes. Nothing against the couple; everything for the client.
