The people we show up for

The best part of what we do is the people we get to amplify: the local artist who gets discovered, the fundraiser that fills the room, the performer whose work gets credited, the small business someone visits after seeing a Reel. Here's some of that work, and what we actually did.

Who's Who Wednesday

One person or place I admire, every week

Since September 2025 I've used Wednesdays to spotlight someone I like, admire or am impressed by: a nonprofit, a performer, a maker, a friend doing something brave. No one pays to be in it. I pick people I want more of you to know about.

20+

Who's Who spotlights so far, including Punk Rock Saves Lives, Hotel Zazz, Kraving Denver, The Pink Party, Chef Zorbas and The Auggie Project.

Creative partner

Ryan T Reynolds

Ryan is a Denver music producer and visual artist, and the other half of almost everything we make. He plays bass, guitar and synth, shoots photo and video, and makes music videos and live event recaps. For brands that want something more polished, he shoots cinematic anamorphic video on a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, like our Muscle + Massage Reel.

His own music includes the EPs Look Up and In the Fall and the single FIN(Allié). We started DJing together in 2008: Ryan on the music, Crystal on the mic and the crowd.
