Off The Streets Productions: Our Mission

Over the past five years, Off The Streets Productions has evolved from a rough idea into a full-blown mission. What started as one guy with a camera chasing live music across North Carolina has become something bigger—something real.

We’re building a platform for musicians, filmmakers, photographers, and creative outsiders. The ones who don’t always get a seat at the table. The ones who know how to create something out of nothing. The ones with stories that don’t fit the industry's mold—and don’t want to.

This all started with a love for music and a deep need to document it. I come from a background in promotions, branding, and artist relations, but during the pandemic, I picked up a camera and realized this was more than a hobby. This was my way in. My way forward. And maybe yours too.

For years now, we’ve been covering shows, building connections, and pushing out content—photos, videos, blogs, zines—without pay, without shortcuts, and without asking for permission. We’ve built a following on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. Not for clicks, but for community.

But I’ve also realized something else along the way: the best creative movements aren’t built by one person—they’re built by a collective. I don’t want Off The Streets to be just me. I want it to be ours.

Here’s what we’re looking to build:

  • A home for live concert coverage, street-level media, and raw storytelling

  • A collaborative space for music blogs, zines, interviews, and film projects

  • A merch store where artists can launch and sell designs with full creative control

  • A resource hub for bands and creatives needing branding, content, or exposure

We need collaborators with:

  • Live event booking and venue experience

  • Social media skills, content calendars, and algorithmic know-how

  • Graphic design and point-of-sale marketing

  • Web development and ecommerce knowledge

  • Photographers, videographers, and editors

  • Business-savvy minds to help with sponsorships, monetization, and growth

This isn’t a job offer—it’s an invitation. There’s no paycheck (yet), but there’s purpose. And the chance to build something from the ground up. Something that lives on its own terms.
