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.
Being assembled, right now.
The directory is taking shape. We are lining up the working roster of commercial media people across the Capital Region - the crews and creatives you want in the room when the stakes are a brand, not a bouquet. Representative roles below; real names land as the collective fills.

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.
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.
Stakeholders and a clear brief
Seating charts and a seating chart.
Deliverables, sign-offs, and a deadline
First dances and a 2 a.m. teardown.
A production schedule that holds
Bridal party wrangling that never does.
Budgets, brand outcomes, repeat clients
The weekend wedding grind, forever.
We are not anti-wedding. We are pro-fit. If your thing is commercial production and you want your weekends back, you are in good company here.
Commercial work, done properly.
Corporate events
Livestreams
Brand stories

Join the collective.
Whether you produce, shoot, edit, or run AV, we want to know who is out there in the 518. Say hello and tell us what you do - we will loop you in on the roster and the first meetup.
