Owner / CEO of Beyfilmz Media

Meet David
Owner / CEO of Beyfilmz Media

Hello! My name is David Bey, and I am the Owner and CEO of Beyfilmz Media, a video production company I founded in 2018. Here’s my story.

​

I first got into videography through photography. Like many who start with limited resources, I purchased a cost-effective camera that doubled as a photo and video camera. While I initially dabbled in photography because of its functionality, it quickly became apparent that my true passion was videography. Over time, I began taking on small photography and video jobs, but as I honed my skills, I realized that videography was where I truly excelled. Eventually, I decided to focus entirely on video production, and that shift allowed me to sharpen my expertise and grow as a videographer.

​

Entrepreneurship was always in my DNA. As early as third grade, I was selling paper toys to classmates, unknowingly running my first business. Throughout my youth, I tried my hand at various business ventures—selling wholesale products, running a retail website, and exploring different industries to find my niche. By the time I was 18, I had a successful business selling electronics, specifically MP3 and MP4 players, during the early 2000s, a time when these devices were in high demand.

​

After high school, I worked in various jobs and eventually became a machine operator in the manufacturing industry. My time in manufacturing was significant, as it allowed me to earn several certifications, including my Certificate of Completion at the Flexographic Technical Association. I was committed to continuously improving myself, which is why I pursued these certifications while also working part-time jobs and growing my videography business on the side.

It wasn’t until 2018 that I officially launched Beyfilmz Media, a name I had conceived long before the company became a reality. Initially, I ran the company part-time, taking on production work on weekends and after my full-time job. However, in late 2019, I decided to take the leap and run Beyfilmz Media full-time. This decision came just before the pandemic, which brought unexpected challenges and opportunities.

​

During the pandemic, I found ways to pivot the business. My fascination with technology led me to explore 360° content and virtual tours, which became crucial as demand for virtual experiences surged. I also earned my Certification of Completion at Virtual Tour Pro in 360º Photography, enabling me to offer advanced virtual reality services. Additionally, I embraced live streaming, another skill that became essential during this time. These new offerings helped propel my business forward and cemented Beyfilmz Media as a versatile and innovative video production company.

​

Today, Beyfilmz Media specializes in event videography, covering conferences, summits, trade shows, corporate events, and more. We help nonprofits tell their stories and share their messages with the world. We also work with for-profit organizations, creating testimonial videos, brand stories, and much more. In addition, we continue to offer our expertise in live streaming, virtual tours, and virtual reality content, maintaining our specialty in these areas.

In 2024, I launched my first Junior Broadcasters Workshop, a program designed to introduce youth to broadcasting and expose them to various trades at an early age. This initiative has been a passion project of mine, helping young people discover new skills and career paths through hands-on experience in broadcasting.

​

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and finding ways to give back to my community.
