Stephanie Carlson-Casey is an award-winning filmmaker and visual storyteller with more than 25 years of experience creating content for globally recognized brands including Microsoft, Ford, Jaguar, NASA, eBay, Motor Trend, Aston Martin, TIME, RE/MAX, USA Today, and more. She built a career producing emotionally compelling and visually cinematic stories across industries including automotive, travel, television, live events, franchise development, real estate, education, and branded documentary work.

 

Stephanie filmed and edited videos for Neil Armstrong, which were later requested by NASA, and for Jim Lovell of Apollo 13, who personally requested copies to use during his stage presentations.

 

In the largely male-dominated automotive industry, Stephanie carved out a respected creative presence while filming the latest vehicles around the world and working with legendary classics for Barrett-Jackson. She created the first video featured on eBay’s homepage and launched the first automotive video series on eBay Motors. From test driving the Jaguar F-Type through the Pyrenees in Spain to filming the Maserati Ghibli in the Italian Alps and drifting a Saab on a frozen lake in the Arctic Circle at -40° below, Stephanie’s storied automotive career has placed her alongside Alan Taylor and many iconic automotive journalists.

 

Throughout her career, Stephanie produced more than 450 franchise videos for brands ranging from Ace Hardware to Zaxby’s, from Los Angeles to New York City, and directed large-scale event productions for Buffini & Company audiences numbering in the hundreds of thousands worldwide. She spearheaded successful video production departments for both Buffini & Company and Benchmark Entertainment while also running her own production company specializing in commercial film, photography, drone media, luxury real estate content, community spotlights, and children’s educational videos. Her work in travel also included promo videos for the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Mexico Tourism Board, and collaborations with major RV brands including Winnebago, Jayco, Keystone RV, Grand Design and GoRVing.

 

While managing a graphic design team early in her career after college, Stephanie began filming wedding videos on weekends, eventually earning a Southern California WEVA Award and producing more than 125 wedding films. It’s a creative passion she still occasionally enjoys sharing with friends today.

 

Now based in Southern Oregon, Stephanie and her husband, Calvin, share a love for landscape photography and have both been featured in 1859 Magazine. Their work has appeared in Pacific Northwest hotels and businesses and is frequently shared by The Oregonian and other media and social platforms. You’ll frequently find Stephanie in nature flying her drone and capturing all that Oregon has to offer, photographing the night sky through her love of astrophotography, or helping bring out confidence and natural beauty through portrait photography.

 

Throughout her career, Stephanie has produced content across automotive, live events, and branded storytelling, interviewing industry leaders, Fortune 500 CEOs, and celebrities along the way. At the heart of Stephanie’s work is a passion for authentic people, meaningful stories, and the creative process. Whether behind the camera, in the editing suite, or directing large productions, Stephanie’s passion remains the same: crafting authentic stories that connect deeply and leave a lasting impact.
