Hands On Films - Our Story

What began as a hobby, officially became a business in October 2005. Since its beginning, Hands On Films has been enamored by the power of stories and their ability to impact people. Our goal is to honestly communicate your vision to your audience.

 

 

Aaron Bryant

In June of 2000 I moved, along with my wife, to Anacortes, WA to begin work as a wilderness guide. We have called it (and Leavenworth, WA) home ever since. My time in the Northwest has allowed me to explore the rugged beauty of the Cascade mountains, its whitewater, and the varieties of people that exist throughout it. Through my guiding people in the wilderness, and being dad to my kids at home, I’ve had the honor of experiencing the power of people’s personal stories.

The creativity and improvisation skills of the mountains laid a natural path into videography, and the opportunity to be apart of communicating people’s stories to our culture. My certifications with the AMGA, PCIA, and as a whitewater raft instructor have also allowed me the inside track in working with outdoor adventure clients.

More than anything, I see video production as a means of storytelling, and it would be my honor to help tell yours.

 

Fred Sprinkle

I am Fred Sprinkle and I currently live in Bellingham, WA. I grew up here in the Northwest, meandering through the San Juan Islands on my family's boat, enjoying Washington Park pick-nicks, treading up North Cascade trails. I feel like I am finally beginning to understand the culture here, to appreciate the natural beauty and more than anything to value the people. Somehow all this has made its way into who I am. When my good friend Aaron Bryant started Hands On Films he invited me to be creative, to grow this creativity, and to use it in such a way that people remain our main priority.

I like to innovate with video, audio and graphics; to try new things. I have had the opportunity to be involved in the video production process in diverse environments ranging from the Costa Rican jungle to remote rivers in Oregon to indy concerts in Seattle.
