From the first frame
to the final cut.

I'm Ian Schrift — I shoot it, direct it, and cut it, and I care about every second in between. Currently on the video team at the Savannah Bananas, creating content for the entire Banana Ball universe.

02 / What I Do

One creative,
the whole pipeline.

Most people own one slice of production. I own all of it — concept to camera to cut to the post button.

01

Videography
& Film

Hands on the camera for everything from high-energy stadium spectacle to intimate, cinematic films. Comfortable running solo or leading a crew, and built to deliver in unpredictable, live environments.

02

Directing
& Production

I take ideas from a blank page to a finished shoot — concepting, storyboarding, casting, scouting locations and directing the room — so the vision survives all the way to the screen.

03

Social
& Content

Thousands of social videos across the entire Banana Ball world, plus 80K+ of my own followers. I know the platforms, the formats, and what actually makes people stop scrolling.

04

Editing
& Post

The final cut is where it all lives or dies. Pacing, sound, color and story — I obsess over the edit until every second earns its place in the timeline.

04 / Personal Audience

I don't just make it —
I make it land.

An audience I built myself, one video at a time. Proof I understand distribution, not just production.
