I’ve spent 25+ years helping companies, organizations and agencies tell stories that connect with their audiences.
My experience means you get an agency-level creative who can take a project from first idea through final edit, or step in as a member of your team wherever you need me most.
We’ll create work we can be proud of - and we’ll have a smashing great time making it!

Based in Atlanta and working worldwide, Brent Dey has spent more than two decades writing content and producing and directing brand films for KPMG, Georgia Aquarium, Merck, Aflac and SCAD. His roots in Atlanta’s creative community run deep. As a founding member of Whole World Theatre and co-founder of the Dailies film collaborative, he honed his storytelling skills and built a network of Atlanta creatives he continues to work with today.
A writer before he became a filmmaker, Brent brings a journalist’s curiosity, a copywriter’s instinct for persuasion and a director’s visual sensibility to every project. Equally comfortable shaping content strategy, directing a crew or working behind the camera, he brings seasoned creative judgment to every stage of production — finding the most compelling story, making smart use of resources and creating films that motivate audiences through wit, emotion and human connection.
They say you should never meet your heroes, but talking to Paul McCartney was a surreal delight. He was funny and thoughtful and even offered a couple off-the-record asides. We covered a lot of ground in a conversation that stretched well past our allotted 30 minutes.

It’s a big deal to put words in a person’s mouth. This speech had a lot of words on employee retention pulled from reports, interviews and PowerPoint presentations, which I smoothed into a fun and conversational tone to be presented in a speech.

This franchise support brochure was easy to write. All I had to do was tap into precious childhood memories of road trips in our family station wagon and nights at the Holiday Inn. It’s always such an honor to work with iconic brands.

KPMG’s Branding U series prepares recruits for partner and client interactions. We approached this script on dining etiquette like a Saturday Night Live skit, drawing on Atlanta’s top improv talent to make the jokes land. The video - which can be seen here along with the shooting script - was fun to shoot and is still a hoot to watch.

I wrote my Duffel Bag columns on the assumption that most people reading it would never go the off-the-road places I wrote about. I wanted to offer the visceral experience of travel. This is probably my favorite sample on this page.

My background in interviewing, writing and editing was a natural fit for Alive Again, an iHeart series about people whose lives were transformed by brushes with death. As a story producer, I interviewed survivors and built their experiences into long-form narrative episodes through writing, editing and sound design. What interested me most wasn’t the near-death experience itself, but what people learned from it—and what they wanted the rest of us to know about living.
Additional equipment available as needed.
Run and gun production with a light footprint. Ideal for documentary style videos and events.
Our technical team bringing a truck and tools to the shoot. More hands mean faster moves and a clean final look.
KPMG wanted a fun, scripted training film to help new recruits navigate professional interviews. The result combines writing, directing, performance and editing. A project like this would cost between $35,000 to $70,000.
For an idea to hit or a joke to land, it has to be delivered quickly and be easily understood. The best writing is subtle, engaging, conversational and persuasive.
As the shooter and editor I can be your single creative contact from concept to cut. We'll build a paper edit from transcripts before we open a timeline.
I bring on the right graphic designers, sound designers and VFX artists to ensure a consistent creative vision from first draft to final delivery.
