about

[ our team ]

We are a collection of filmmakers that believe in the power of storytelling.

A unique blend of equal parts actions sports and journalism, we create dynamic, engaging films that stand apart. We believe simplicity is powerful, using thoughtful visuals to elevate stories that resonate and leave a lasting impression.

The most powerful thing your brand can do is be itself.

Documentary filmmaking is about getting to what actually matters. It strips away the noise of everyday life. The noise that can get in the way of understanding. We are interested in what’s essential to your company, just beneath the surface. We strive to bridge the gap between what is seen and what is felt.

We seek meaningful moments. We don’t manufacture fiction. We find what’s real. We film it. We make sure it lands.

Each project is a chance for us to go somewhere new, tell a different story.

We don’t take that lightly.

Ryan Timms

Founder

Ryan spent years shooting in uncontrolled environments, chasing real moments instead of manufactured ones, and learned that the best footage happens when you stop trying to control everything. He started Press Rec because he wanted a studio built around instinct. One where craft comes first, clients are treated like collaborators and the work is always worth putting your name on.

Caroline Almy

Creative Director

Caroline is a little bit of a journalist, a little bit of a filmmaker, and a lot of an artist. Her job is to make sure the visuals make it from concept to reality. She can use her third eye to see beyond what you think the story is and show us what it actually is.

Jordan Fox

producer / editor

Jordan brings life to vision. Her background in communications gives her a unique blend of organization and creativity. In production, she’s the connective tissue that keeps things organized and on time. In the edit bay she’s something else entirely. The person who finds the version of the story that was hiding in plain sight the whole time.

Will Matthews

Cinematographer

Video pro by day, musician by night. His background in music production tells you a lot about how he shoots. He understands rhythm, timing, and the exact moment something hits. The transition from audio to video was less of a pivot and more a natural extension of his creativity. He is the kind of person genuinely energized by being part of something built from the ground up, and that enthusiasm is contagious on set.
