A few months ago, I watched a video about a young Austrian woman who built a Smartphone Video Production business creating content for the healthcare and medical sector. Her story really resonated with me — it brought back memories of the early days of GCTV Media, when we faced our own struggles learning, experimenting, and trying to prove that smartphone filmmaking could be professional.

That moment reignited something — a reminder of why I started this journey. It’s what inspired me to write “Starting a Smartphone Video Production Business in 2025.”

The goal of the book is simple: to encourage and help small business owners push forward using video in their marketing and branding, to show them that with today’s smartphone technology, creativity and storytelling can be accessible to everyone.
It’s about inspiring others to take that first step — to turn their ideas into powerful, visual stories that connect with people and grow their brands.
