Pick your 2–3 strongest projects. For each: the problem, what you did, and the result. Specificity is credibility — real names and real outcomes beat adjectives.

What I Do

One hire. The full pipeline.

From the first frame to final delivery — I shoot, cut, and fly. That means fewer vendors, a tighter creative vision, and faster turnarounds for the team I join.

01

Videography

Cinematic production for brands, interviews, events, and campaigns. Composition, lighting, and camera movement built around the story — not just coverage.

02

Editing & Post

Story-first edits with rhythm, motion, and color. I cut on the beat, grade for mood, and deliver in every format a channel needs — 16:9 to 9:16.

03

Aerial / Drone

FAA Part 107 certified. Legal, insured, safety-first aerial cinematography that integrates naturally with ground footage — not tacked on as a gimmick.

About

A filmmaker who ships — on time, on brief, on budget.

I'm Justin Zayas, a videographer and editor based in Texas, working across Houston, Dallas, and Austin. I hold an AAS in Film and an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate — so I can take a project from concept and camera all the way through the edit and the sky.

My background is hands-on and end-to-end: I've built entire productions solo, which means I understand every seat on a crew and can slot into any of them. I care about craft, but I care just as much about hitting deadlines and making the people around me look good.

Right now I'm looking to bring that range to a production company, agency, or in-house creative team that values someone who can wear a few hats and never drops the ball.

Don't just take my word.
