Merle Becker, Owner

As a teen, I spent a lot of my time documenting and storytelling. I used whatever medium I could: video, audio, and photography. I interviewed my sister about her favorite foods, and did photo essays about her parakeet, Wilbur. I recorded fake news shows with my friends, and filmed commercials for made up products.

It was the beginning of my lifelong desire to always document and tell stories, a desire that has driven every one of Freakfilms Inc.'s projects from day one.

It landed me my first real job out of film school at MTV picking videos out for the hit show Beavis and Butt-head. It sent me across the country documenting the work of rock poster artists for the award-winning film, American Artifact. And, it has also lead to the formation of partnerships with businesses large and small, like Procter and Gamble and American Reading Company. Over the years, I've been honored to create videos that promote them and engage their audiences by telling stories.

So, while my friends were at the mall, I was the "freak" with the video camera. And although I use better equipment now, I'm still looking for the next opportunity to help businesses grow through engaging video storytelling.
