Mike Rodriguez

Director Editor Videographer Mixer

Hello

My name is Mike Rodriguez

I tell stories that connect—whether it’s a person’s career journey, a post for social, or a documentary built on hope. I’ve interviewed people all over the world and captured everything from quiet breakthroughs to big, bold moments. Sometimes it’s just me, a couple of cameras, and some lights. Other times, it’s a full crew. Whatever it takes to get the story told right, I’m in. I mix audio, host a podcast, shoot, edit, and deliver with intention. Clients count on me to turn complex ideas into stories people actually want to watch. Today’s tech makes it possible—I just make it personal.

Martin talks about getting his video "Mi Morena" getting yanked off Youtube. It's pretty frustrating and shows us all the things that are wrong about big companies and their sweeping power. He also tells us about his new album, full of demos and other unreleased songs, and why demos are so special. Plus we premiere the first trailer for the "AudioNowcast SPACES Around The World" 60-minute special. Three years in the making and full of some amazing studio spaces this is truly going to be epic.

Andy Meyer Interview

There is nothing like filming a live performance and capturing the point of view from a different perspective. I had the challenge of filming a concert interview without mentioning the band's name for licensing reasons and maintaining the excitement and energy of a live concert.
