We recently connected with Keith Andrews and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Keith thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Alright, let’s jump into one of the most exciting parts of starting a new venture – how did you get your first client who was not a friend or family?

My first big client was rap legend Pastor Troy. It was 2015 where things weren’t going good at all filming so I was contemplating hanging it up and finding a new venture to dive into. So one day I just said forget it and email A LOT of big time names who need camera work one of them being Pastor Troy. I said to myself if no one emails me back then that’s a sign to hang it up so after I sent the emails, he hit me back almost immediately and simply said “lets work”. I was over the moon and I knew from there I was meant to do this and the rest as they say is history.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?

My name is Keith Andrews, and I’m a videographer and editor with a background in digital cinematography and over 15 years of experience behind the camera. I got into this by simply being around it early and falling in love with capturing moments — then I stayed because I realized I could turn vision into something real. What started as just shooting and learning turned into a full craft once I understood the power of storytelling through visuals. Over the years, I’ve worked in multiple spaces — from sports to wrestling promotions like Palmetto Championship Wrestling, The Nightmare Factory, Viral Pro Wrestling, and currently Phoenix Championship Wrestling — to music videos and branded content. All of that helped shape my style and taught me how to move in different environments while still delivering quality. What I offer is more than just “video.” I provide full visual storytelling — music videos, sports content, promo videos, and edits that actually feel like something. Anybody can record footage, but not everybody can create a moment that sticks with people. That’s where I come in. The problem I solve for clients is simple: I help them stand out. A lot of people have talent, businesses, or brands, but their visuals don’t reflect their true level. I bridge that gap. I take ideas — even rough ones — and turn them into polished, engaging content that people actually want to watch and share. What sets me apart is my experience and my eye. I’ve been doing this long enough to know that it’s not just about clean shots — it’s about timing, energy, and understanding what the client is trying to say without them always knowing how to say it. I’m also hands-on from start to finish, so every project gets real attention, not just a quick turnaround. What I’m most proud of is my consistency and growth. I’ve stayed with this craft for years, kept sharpening my skills, and built real relationships along the way. I never left the camera — I just kept leveling up. If there’s anything I want people to know about me and my brand, it’s this: I take the work seriously. I care about the final product just as much as the client does, if not more. When you work with me, you’re not just getting a service — you’re getting someone who’s invested in making your vision hit the way it’s supposed to.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

One thing non-creatives often struggle to understand is that this journey isn’t linear at all. From the outside, it might look like we’re just “taking pictures” or “making videos,” but what they don’t see is the constant mental pressure — the self-doubt, the creative blocks, the late nights trying to make something feel right, not just look right.

There’s also this misconception that passion equals instant success. In reality, you can love what you do and still go through dry seasons where nothing hits, where opportunities slow down, or where you question if you’re even progressing. That part isn’t talked about enough.

Another thing is how much of this is self-driven. There’s no clear roadmap, no guaranteed paycheck, no structure unless you create it yourself. You have to be your own motivation, your own critic, your own marketer — all while still trying to stay creative.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

I’m from a lower class community where a lot of people aren’t able to live out their dreams, so in the grand scheme I hope my creative journey inspires someone to get on their journey and doesn’t let their circumstances determine their life..it’s gonna be harder but it’s worth it in the end.
