Our mission at Tekmerion is to produce original, family friendly, entertainment through narrative feature films, serials, and documentaries.  We have had the privilege to participate in a number of feature films, music videos, and shorts.

Commercial

Your brand is your story the way you want to tell it.  Tekmerion's goal is to blend our innovation and creativity with the message you and your marketing team want to share with the world.  We create video and film for commercials, web and social media campaigns, training videos, and the list goes on.

Spotlight

A homeless throwaway, exploited and addicted, discovers change is possible, and God never forgot her. Now, she is a wife, nurse, and mother of four.

Here's a sample of the projects Tekmerion has produced over the last ten years.

Obviously our clients agree.

“It’s hard to find someone with a mix of creativity and efficiency. Brian is both. He’s always been on time and a critical problem solver with every project he’s done for us.


”
— Greg Kasowski, KAT Communications
“The team at Tekmerion has become part of our family here at The Gideons. We have a very specific brand, and Brian knows just when to let the integrity of our Association reign over a creative vision. The team acts with professionalism on and off set, and we are pleased to introduce the crew as one of our own during larger conventions or simply when meeting with our valued pastor partners.”
— Craig Warner, Executive Director, The Gideons International
“ I’ve worked with the Tekmerion team for three years now, and it’s been an amazing experience. I love being able to throw out ideas for a video and let Brian piece it all together. I appreciate his ability to listen and ask the right questions that, in the end, produce the best outcome for our Association. His team is seriously the bomb, on and off set.”
— Abigail Bass, Digital Media Coordinator, The Gideons International
“As Director of a missions agency I knew that our communications to donors was vital. In video/film we looked to Brian Ellison to tell our story. His skills were exactly what we needed, and always exceeded expectations. From story boarding, to shooting actual footage, to editing, he is incredible. This was true in controlled video shoots with a full crew supporting, or on his own in some remote location around the world. He always delivered the highest quality. And, on top of that, he met deadlines. Creativity. Quality. Integrity. That is Brian Ellison and Tekmerion Productions.”
— James Forlines, Final Command Ministries

Choose Life!
Choose Life!

Now, I consider myself a moderate wordsmith at best. The message always deserves more than my skill, and discipline can muster. But, If you strip me down to the core of my understanding, experience, and observation of this world this is what I have to say—

The Seed
The Seed

I wanted this to be a construction trip, a respite from my typical obligations. Instead, God gave me a defining moment in my life and career.

Missionary Filmmaker
Missionary Filmmaker

If we as media professionals are going to call ourselves missionaries, then let us look well to those who have gone before us.  I am not speaking of the Lumière brothers, D.W. Griffith, or Hitchcock, nor am I considering the trailblazers of the 21st-century Christian film movement.  I am talking about the pioneers of modern missions.

God's not Dead
God's not Dead

We recently worked with PureFlix producer, Brittany Yost to record a few statements from the Newsboys’ Michael Tait for the upcoming film, God’s Not Dead, a Light in Darkness.  I’m old school, so I was like, “Michael Tait from DC Talk?  Sure we’ll help.”   

Zambia
Zambia

This past October, Tekmerion’s Commander in Chief, Brian, joined a team of like-minded believers on a trip to Zambia. Armed with a brand new Sony A7s II, Brian’s job was to collect footage for promotional material, and interview the gideons involved, both national and international.

Introducing Tekmerion's RED EPIC-W. We’re very excited about this camera and are thrilled to offer its gorgeous cinematic capabilities to our clients. 

In the Face of Fear

“Could that be C4?”  He nodded to her purse.

 This simple question was all the fuel my imagination needed.  False prophecies of fire, chaos, and death flooded my mind.  If I didn’t do something now, my last confession would be a sin of omission.  I jumped out of my seat and traded places with my translator, asking her to investigate the woman’s phone.  

Disney Animators
Disney Animators

Brian shot an interview with Glen Keane and Ron Husband, artists and animators who spent many years with Walt Disney Studios. You might know some of Glen’s work — The Little Mermaid, Tarzan, The Beast, Rapunzel… it’s a long list. What you may not know, is that Glen and Ron are disciples of Jesus Christ, and proudly professes their faith. 

Legacy
Legacy

Tekmerion was delighted and honored to be a part of this beautiful story. We strongly believe legacy builds the future.

Grace in the Empty Spaces | Throwback Thursday

“Offense is often taken but seldom given.”  I love this quote.  Whenever I successfully apply its wisdom to my own relational frictions, it soothes the tension and diffuses the heat.  It leaves no room for bitterness and looks for a solution to the problem, not a person to blame.
