The show is on Saturday, March 28th at the Zeider Theather in Virginia Beach, VA. Tickets are on sale here, but hurry, space is limited!!
This year, we are particularly proud to announce two of our very own filmmakers, Megan and Travis, each have their own films screening (and no, we have no affiliation with the judging of the films).
And once again, Jpixx is back on the Red Carpet, capturing all the filmmakers and friends as they enter the festival. Browse the gallery, download and share with this dedicated link
When HRSD set out to reintroduce itself to the public, the goal was clear: increase awareness of who they are, what they do, and why their work matters to everyday life in Hampton Roads. In partnership with Qantm, who led the creative concept and strategy, Jpixx helped bring that vision to life through a two-day, multi-location photo and video production.
This campaign was designed to feel human, local, and grounded in water — a resource at the heart of HRSD’s mission and the communities they serve.
From Concept to Camera 🎥
Qantm developed the overarching concept for HRSD’s rebrand, focusing on visibility, approachability, and public trust. Our role at Jpixx was to translate that concept into compelling visuals — capturing real people, real places, and real moments that show HRSD’s impact beyond the treatment plant.
Over two full production days, our team worked closely with HRSD employees and their families to create a library of lifestyle and operational content that could be used across advertising, social media, and broader awareness efforts.
Day One: Inside the Treatment Plant 🥼
Production kicked off at an HRSD treatment facility, where we documented the technical side of HRSD’s work. This included:
Plant operations and infrastructure
Lab environments and testing processes
Employees at work in their day-to-day roles
These visuals help reinforce the scale, precision, and professionalism behind HRSD’s operations — the behind-the-scenes work that keeps Hampton Roads’ water systems running safely and efficiently.
Day Two: Life Around the Water 🌊
The second production day shifted outward into the community, capturing how HRSD’s work supports life beyond the plant. Filming and photography took place across Virginia Beach and Norfolk, including:
Ocean View Beach Park
A local grocery store parking lot
Captain’s Quarters Recreation
Lake Lawson / Lake Smith
Here, we focused on lifestyle-driven storytelling. HRSD employees appeared alongside their families in authentic, everyday moments — fishing together, kayaking, spending time on the beach, and enjoying the waterways that define the region.
Scenes included families fishing by the water, a dog and family relaxing near the lake, kayaking shots, and candid beach moments — all reinforcing HRSD’s connection to clean water, recreation, and quality of life.
Real People, Real Impact 💙
A key element of this campaign was featuring HRSD employees not just as professionals, but as members of the community they serve. By blending solo employee portraits with family-focused lifestyle scenes, the content humanizes the organization and emphasizes that HRSD’s work directly supports the people who live, work, and play in Hampton Roads.
Built for Awareness
The final photo and video assets were designed for versatility and reach. HRSD deployed the content across:
Paid advertising campaigns
Social media ads
Organic social media content
Broader public-facing awareness initiatives
Each asset was created to feel approachable, trustworthy, and distinctly local — helping HRSD strengthen public understanding of their role in the region.
Collaboration That Makes It Happen
Projects like this thrive on strong partnerships. Qantm’s strategic vision set the foundation for the rebrand, and Jpixx’s production team helped execute that vision on the ground, coordinating locations, talent, and storytelling to deliver a cohesive visual narrative.
We’re proud to have played a role in bringing this campaign to life and helping HRSD tell a story that reflects both the technical excellence and the human impact of their work.
This week at SXSW, the indie film The Pirate King will make its world premiere — and for the Jpixx team, it’s a moment that feels especially close to home.
While Jpixx didn’t direct or shoot the feature itself, we were brought in to capture something just as important: the story behind the story. Over several days of production, Jpixx filmed Electronic Press Kit (EPK) interviews and b-roll designed to help introduce the film to audiences, festivals, and media outlets around the world. Our goal was simple — make the production look as incredible as it felt on set.
The film, written and directed by first-time director Josh Plasse and starring Rob Riggle and Jordana Brewster, was shot largely in Yorktown, Norfolk and Virginia Beach, putting our coastal region firmly on the cinematic map. The production spanned more than 20 days, but Jpixx was brought in by production supervisor and longtime collaborator April Campion to document key moments across five intense days of filming.
And intense they were.
Argghhhh… the hottest week of the year in Yorktown, VA
Owner Jon Abrahams was on set every day, often working through blistering near-100-degree temperatures while capturing interviews and behind-the-scenes footage with the film’s cast and crew. Some days meant filming alongside massive pirate ship set pieces. Others meant dramatic nighttime setups with the lead actors. And on the final day, as the production wrapped — we documented the final moments of a project that had taken months to bring to life.
The level of trust on set made this project especially rewarding. The production gave us significant autonomy to schedule interviews and collaborate directly with the film’s main players — including the real-life inspiration behind the film, local legend Todd Willis, known as “The Pirate King” himself.
Before filming even began, we photographed stills of several actors that were later used as props within the film — a small but fun way our work became woven directly into the production.
Jon and SXSW go waaaaaay back!
For Jon Abrahams, the experience carries an extra layer of meaning. He’s worked SXSW several times as official festival coverage crew and has attended the festival before as a filmmaker. But this marks the first time a project he worked on will premiere at the festival — a full-circle moment that makes this SXSW especially exciting.
Projects like this aren’t typical Jpixx assignments. But being embedded inside a large-scale film set — collaborating with talented cast and crew while helping shape how the film will be presented to the world — made The Pirate King a uniquely fulfilling experience.
As the film premieres at SXSW this week, we’re incredibly proud to have played a small role in helping capture the energy, ambition, and hard work that went into bringing this story to life.
And yes — sometimes that meant filming pirates in 100-degree heat.
One of the best parts of the work we do at Jpixx is that sometimes it takes us to some pretty incredible places.
For this latest adventure, Jackson and Trey headed out to Arizona with our longtime partners at Corazón Latino and the U.S. Forest Service. Working alongside Stacy, Felipe, and their team is always a highlight for us. They’re doing meaningful work connecting communities to public lands and protecting the places we all care about—and we’re grateful to help tell those stories.
This trip is part of a growing series of travel vlogs we’ve been sharing from the field. It’s a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at the places we go, the people we film, and the moments that happen in between the official shoots.
One thing we’ve learned over the years is that you don’t need a massive film crew to create cinematic work. Our approach is to stay small, nimble, and collaborative, which lets us move quickly, travel light, and capture authentic moments as they happen—while still delivering the kind of high-end results our national clients expect.
And honestly, projects like this are just fun. We get to spend time in beautiful places, meet people doing inspiring work, and collaborate with partners we’ve worked with for years. That kind of trust and shared mission always makes the work better.
The final edit from this trip is shaping up to be one of our strongest pieces yet. In the meantime, here’s a look at the adventure.
Every few months, the Jpixx team trades timelines and to-do lists for something a little more… free. Cameras come out, expectations go away, and creativity takes the lead.
A couple of months ago, that creative reset took us to the Chesapeake Arboretum for a team photography exercise built around one simple idea: slow down, look closer, and see differently. Each person was given a unique photo challenge designed to push how they naturally shoot, and the results were as varied (and fun) as the people behind the lens. Here’s what the team took away from the experience! 🎥
Megan: Chasing Light (and All the Buttons) 📸
For Megan, the photography exercise was a mix of curiosity, discovery, and a little trial-by-fire.
While editing, their first thought was honest and relatable: “What a cool software I’ve never used before… there are so many buttons.” But that curiosity quickly turned into intention once they were out in the field.
Their priority while shooting was finding moments where light interacted with the environment, revealing vibrant colors and unexpected details. As the sun dipped lower, the challenge increased. Shooting manual, especially during sunset, meant constantly adjusting settings as the light changed. “It was really good practice, and lots of fun!” they said.
Looking back, Megan noted that introducing people or man-made elements could have elevated their work even more. Wandering solo through the woods can start to feel like “plants… plants… more plants…” but contrast, they realized, is where images really come alive.
Hanna: A Fly on the WallMoments 🌤️
Hanna’s takeaway centered less on technical rules and more on perspective.
She appreciated the simple act of stepping outside and looking at the world through a different lens—literally. Her natural shooting style leans toward candid, fly-on-the-wall moments with minimal interference. However, this exercise introduced a new challenge: incorporating outside elements and intentional design. Like Megan, she found that collaboration and interaction elevated the images.
Moving forward, Hanna wants to lean more into natural light, enhancing it in post-production rather than relying on studio-style setups. Many of her photos focused heavily on composition, and she’s excited to push them toward a more cinematic feel next time.
Jon: Shooting for the Joy of It 😎
For Jon, the exercise was a reminder of something creatives don’t always get to do: shoot just to shoot.
“We don’t always get to let loose and shoot for the sake of having fun and capturing a vision,” he shared. This day gave the team space to explore without pressure, while also learning from each other’s approaches.
Seeing how everyone interpreted their assignments sparked conversation, inspiration, and a little friendly envy from teammates who wished they could have joined. And who knows, “maybe next time we might open it up to friends of Jpixx as well.”
Trey: Letting Color Lead the Story 🌅
Trey walked away with a new appreciation for color as a storytelling tool.
Instead of starting with framing or composition, his assignment pushed him to use a color palette as the driving force behind each image. That shift forced his eye to work differently—and purposefully. “Shooters all have a specific order in how they bring a shot together,” Trey reflected. For him, color now carries more responsibility, helping create mood, emotion, and story within a single frame.
Noah: From Aesthetic to Storytelling ✨
Noah’s instincts immediately lean toward composition, finding a subject, testing angles, and chasing the “right”frame. But this exercise opened the door to something deeper.
Hearing how others prioritize color, light, and narrative reframed his perspective on photography. Before Jpixx, many of his photos were captured purely for the vibe—abstract, aesthetic, and intuitive. While that approach still has a place, he’s now focused on storytelling within the frame. “Learning to tell a story inside a single image is interesting—and I want to master it.”
Savannah: Creativity, Connection, and a Little Magic 🪄
Savannah helped coordinate the entire exercise, making sure everyone had a challenge designed to spark growth. “Every quarter we gather up our creative troops and spend an afternoon out on the field just being creative,” she explained. This time, each photographer was given a unique assignment, because small challenges often lead to big breakthroughs.
The day also featured a special guest: Daisy (@days_of_daisy), a UK-based influencer and content creator who joined as a model and collaborator.
While Savannah found herself juggling logistics, her favorite moment came when she looked up from her camera and saw six creatives sharing shots, laughing, and learning together. “My heart did a little leap,” she said. Even if everyone walked away with just one new skill, she knew she’d shared her love for photography, and that made it worth it.
Why Exercises Like This Matter 💙
This photography exercise day wasn’t about perfection or deliverables. It was about connection, curiosity, and growth —both as individuals and as a team.
By stepping outside our usual roles and routines, we were reminded that creativity thrives when there’s room to experiment, collaborate, and simply enjoy the process. And, honestly, we can’t wait to do it again!
In the spirit of creative chaos, here’s to a season full of joy, inspiration, and moments worth capturing. This year was full of incredible stories, inspiring projects, and unforgettable collaborations. From all of us at Jpixx, thank you for trusting us to bring your vision to life! We hope your holiday season is filled with rest, laughter, and creativity — we can’t wait to make more magic with you in 2026! 💙

A Year of Stories, Told with Trust
This year took us everywhere! From waterfront festivals and university commencements to immersive environments and deeply personal nonprofit storytelling. Each project represented here reflects the trust our partners placed in Jpixx to capture moments that mattered, often as they unfolded in real time.
At Harborfest and Sail250, our full team was on-site, documenting the energy of the waterfront from every angle. We handled photography, video, live jumbotron feeds, and fast-paced day-of edits, while also creating a hands-on activation that invited attendees to step into a nostalgic moment of their own. Beyond the celebration, we were already thinking ahead — filming the sailing of the tall ships to help tell the story of Sail250 as it continues into next year.
We also had the honor of capturing multiple graduation ceremonies throughout the year, with Old Dominion University’s May Commencement holding special meaning for our team. As proud ODU alumni — past and present — this partnership goes beyond production. Filming students as they crossed the stage, surrounded by pride and possibility, reminded us why documenting milestone moments is such a powerful form of storytelling.
From celebration to construction, we partnered with The Miller Group and New Realm Brewing Co. to document the journey of their newest brewery location in Suffolk. From early progress to grand opening day, we captured testimonials, milestones, and the excitement of bringing a new space to life! Long-term partnerships like this allow us to tell stories with depth — not just showing the final result, but honoring the work it took to get there.
One of the most meaningful projects of the year came through our work with Roc Solid Foundation. Centered around Paige and her role in supporting her younger sister, Jackie, through cancer treatment, this story pushed us creatively and emotionally. We combined documentary storytelling with an immersive 3D environment inspired by climbing Mount Everest, creating a powerful experience showcased at Roc Solid’s Night for the Fight. It was a reminder that storytelling, when done with care, can create space for empathy, strength, and connection.
On the immersive front, we teamed up with GoGo Media for NEOGOV’s Ignite Conference in Las Vegas to transform a 90-degree wall corner into a fully realized brand experience. Built around the theme “Light the Path,”the installation featured three looping 3D worlds simulating a full day from sunrise to sunset. From ideation to execution, our team navigated complex technical and creative challenges to ensure the experience not only looked impressive but reinforced NEOGOV’s leadership message within the public sector.
To help HRSD better tell their story, we traveled across locations, capturing video and stills that showcased both the people and the purpose behind the organization. Our team went all in, suiting up to film in labs, boats, canoes, beaches, piers, and more. The image featured here highlights two scientists at work in the lab, representing the expertise, innovation, and care that drive HRSD’s mission every day.
Looking back, these projects reflect more than a year of work; they represent relationships built on trust, collaboration, and a shared belief in the power of story. As we head into the holidays and look toward the year ahead, we’re grateful for every partner who invited us in and allowed us to do what we love: tell stories that resonate! 💙
Our Holiday Tradition 🎄
Every year, we trade client briefs for holiday chaos and make a video just for fun. This year, we went Home Alone—Jpixx style. We love to get creative, work together, and lean into the joy that comes from telling stories (and not taking ourselves too seriously)! Enjoy Jpixx Alone 🎄
Thanks for watching, laughing with us, and celebrating another year of creativity. Happy Holidays from all of us at Jpixx! 🎄
If you’re planning new campaigns, recruitment videos, training content, or storytelling projects in 2026, we’d love to help. Let’s make it your most creative year yet. 💙
At Jpixx, we’re always excited to welcome fresh talent into our creative family!! This year, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on our 2025 interns: Megan, an animation and motion design creative, and Travis, a video production and storytelling pro in the making. As our Account Producer Intern and Post-Production Intern, they’ve stepped into their roles and are absolutely crushing it. 🎥💥
We asked them a few questions to get to know them better, and their answers were as fun and insightful as you might expect!
Megan – Account Producer & Animation Intern 🎨
What inspired you to get into animation? “I’ve always loved animated cutscenes in my favorite video games. They’re full of life, movement, and really nail the storytelling moments. Playing the Kingdom Hearts series in high school sealed the deal for me—it’s when I knew I wanted to pursue animation!” 🐭
Why Jpixx? “The atmosphere! Talking with the team and seeing how Jpixx presents itself online showed me that they genuinely care about their work and each other. I was looking for a place where I could learn a ton while feeling comfortable asking questions.” ✨
How has your internship influenced your creative approach? “Seeing the full process behind a live-action shoot has taught me the importance of organization and communication across any creative project. These are skills I’ll carry with me for life.” 📎
Dream project? “I’d love to work with Sony Animation. Their dedication to supporting animators and artists is inspiring, and they consistently deliver the best possible work while involving amazing creatives.” 🐛
Fun fact: “If I could live in any animated universe, it’d be The Owl House! I’m a big fan of magic, and I like to think I could figure out the system to my advantage.” 🦉
Travis – Post-Production & Editing Intern 🖥️
What got you into filmmaking? “Movies and TV shaped my childhood. My first theater experience was Rugrats in Paris, and shows on Nickelodeon in the late ’90s just made me happy. That joy made me want to create stories that give others the same feeling.” 🛹
A defining moment in filmmaking? “At Virginia State University, I took an Intro to Media Technology class. Our final project was a short film, and my team won! I loved every step, but editing was my favorite—it showed me that storytelling really comes alive in the cut.” 🎥
Why Jpixx? “I wanted hands-on experience with one of the best video production companies around. I’m excited to sharpen my skills, especially in color grading, and learn from talented professionals.” 🎨
Dream project? “Editing a Jordan commercial for Jalen Hurts—I think combining his energy with old-school music would make for an amazing concept. On the film side, I’d love to make a comedy or even a music video—rhythm is key to my editing style.” 🏀
Current inspiration: “I keep rewatching The Hateful Eight. It’s the whodunit mystery vibe that keeps pulling me back in—I can’t even explain why!” 🤔
We’re beyond excited to see Megan and Travis bring their energy, creativity, and talent to our projects this year. Get ready for some next-level magic from these two! Want to see what our interns are working on!? 👇👇👇

The 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP) is no small feat! Filmmakers have just two days to write, shoot, edit, and deliver a finished short film. For Jpixx, this summer brought multiple different 48HFP adventures—each with its own unique team, story, and energy.
Savannah’s 48: Daze.mp4 🌾
Two 48s down this year… and Savannah Heller doesn’t plan on stopping. 😈
Most recently, Savannah ran her team in the Hampton Roads 48 Hour Film Project under the name “Daze.mp4”. With a genre pull of “Western/Time” Travel and a tiny but mighty crew, she took the challenge to Lake Gaston at “the Ranch”.
“From the jump, my goal for this 48 was simple: don’t take it too seriously, just have fun with my friends and let everyone shine,” Savannah shared.
And shine they did. Horses on set, late-night scriptwriting, gear-building, and wardrobe magic—all came together in “The Misadventures of the Ashes of Mary Jo Sarah Beth”. The film not only captured the crowd with laughs and cheers, but also doubled as a personal time capsule featuring Savannah’s fiancé and his dad.
The kicker? Savannah’s team wrapped filming earlier than ever before and submitted their cut hours ahead of schedule, a rare win in the world of 48s!
Jpixx Jr. Presents: “Pick Me Up” 🚙
Meanwhile, Jon and Teviya Abrahams teamed up with the next generation of filmmakers, Jpixx Jr., to create their 48HFP entry, “Pick Me Up”.
This team was stacked with Jon and Teviya’s kids, their friends, and a few additional actors and crew. Shooting across multiple locations, including the magical lantern festival at Mount Trashmore. The young team brought their creative spark to the challenge. In contrast to Daze.mp4’s early submission, Jpixx Jr. submitted theirs with less than a minute to spare! (Hence, the stressed crew picture while submitting).
For Jon, it was about more than just making a film; it was about giving the kids a crash course in filmmaking, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. The result? A project that blended youthful energy with solid storytelling, proving that the 48 bug is alive and well in the next generation.
Richmond 48: “No Open Feet” 🧦
To top it all off, Jpixx also entered the Richmond 48 Hour Film Project with “No Open Feet”. This film struck a chord with audiences and came away with the Audience Favorite award for its screening group! Take a look at the audience favorite “No Open Feet” here!
Between the chaos of the weekend challenge and the joy of seeing their film light up the big screen, the Richmond team walked away with another reminder of why Jpixx keeps saying “yes” to these whirlwind film sprints.
Jpixx Talent in “Frizzy Friends” ✂️
The Richmond 48 Hour Film Project wasn’t just about “No Open Feet”. Two Jpixx team members also lent their talents to another entry—“Frizzy Friends”, directed by Kendra Louka & Melissa Howerton.
✨ Lisa Purcell worked as the film’s Costume Designer, bringing her eye for detail and character to the screen. ✨ Hanna Lynch jumped in as part of the production team, helping bring the story to life during the whirlwind weekend.
It was yet another reminder of the creativity and collaboration that flows through the Jpixx family, both on our own sets and when teaming up with other filmmakers.
Why We Keep Coming Back 🎥
Four different films, four unique teams, and four unforgettable weekends. The 48 Hour Film Project is always unpredictable, exhausting, and a little bit wild—but it’s also where creativity thrives!
For Jpixx, these projects are about more than just the films themselves. They’re about collaboration, pushing creative limits, and building memories with the people who make storytelling possible.
And something tells us… this won’t be the last time you’ll see Jpixx hitting the 48 clock. 🎬⏱️

Harborfest 2025 was one for the books — and Jpixx was right in the middle of it all as the official media sponsor.
From the crackling fireworks to the nautical flair of the Parade of Sail, Jpixx captured the heart (and hype) of one of the region’s biggest summer events. And when we say we covered it all, we mean it. With Sail250 Virginia on the horizon for next year, the 10th year Harborfest felt like the perfect warm-up for the incredible celebrations still to come.
Wall-to-Wall Coverage, Jpixx Style 📸
We had boots on the ground and lenses in the air, filming every band on the Main Stage and Boathouse Stage, as well as food trucks, arcade games, and all the crowd energy pulsing through Town Point Park. We even had crew member Savannah on a boat adventure to capture drone footage! You might’ve even spotted us livestreaming our Kiss Cam and Dance Cam directly to the Jumbotron.
Behind the camera was our signature blue crew — the Jpixx media team decked out in our branded shirts, camera gear in hand, and creative energy to match the festival’s vibes.
Bubble-Fueled Booth Party 🫧
Situated right next to the Main Stage, the Jpixx Tent became a hub of fun! Our team passed out candy, stickers, and our signature “Eye” tattoos. We also decked out our spot with bubble toys, and we ran our first-ever Dispo Drop photo booth.
What’s a Dispo Drop, you ask? It’s a Jpixx-exclusive photo experience that uses an old disposable camera lens attached to a modern DSLR, giving every shot that nostalgic, grainy, “party pic” look. Add in the Harborfest backdrop and bubbles floating through the air, and you’ve got something magical!
Our crew didn’t just show up to document Harborfest — we were part of the energy! After Day 1, we hustled and pulled together a fresh, hype-filled video edit packed with the sights, sounds, and flavors of the day. The bands, the food, the big smiles, the bubble fun — all the good stuff. We posted it that same night, and the buzz? It spread. People saw what they were missing and showed up in full force for Day 2.
Whether it was the drone show lighting up the sky, the yo-yo pros spinning tricks, the Tall Ships gliding by, or the boat demos making waves, we made sure every Harborfest moment got its time to shine.
