Everyone’s career path is different, and mine has definitely been unique. Looking back on the many roles I’ve held, I truly believe each step was perfectly designed to lead me to what’s next.

Starting this fall, I’ll be teaching communications and video production at Rogers State University. Teaching is something that’s always been in the back of my mind. I’ve always loved helping others, and the chance to help train the next generation is incredibly exciting. Honestly, I never imagined this would actually happen—especially at the university level—but here we are! I’m thrilled for this opportunity and can’t wait to share my experience and passion with students in the classroom.

Don’t worry—Bewley Productions isn’t going anywhere. I’ll still be working on projects, so if you're planning your next marketing or fundraising video, or need help creating content, feel free to reach out. I’d love to help bring your vision to life.

Here’s to new journeys!

Oh and, I may need guest speakers for my classes so don’t be surprised if you get an invitation!

This was a terrifically fun project to work on for Youth Services of Tulsa. It’s appropriately called “Joyful Moments,” as our goal was to illustrate the joy YST brings to its clients.

From the start, we decided to use an on-camera narrator. We felt that featuring a former client would help put a face to Youth Services and keep the viewer focused on the people YST supports. Using a narrator also gave us the opportunity to write a script. When a video is driven solely by interviews and soundbites, it can be hard to control how a message is phrased or delivered. With a script, we had the chance to refine our language and choose just the right words. Filming with a narrator also allowed for multiple takes, so we could adjust the tone and delivery until it felt just right.

Our goal was to showcase as many joyful moments as possible. Sometimes that meant capturing clients smiling directly into the camera. We also wanted to highlight two clients who found housing with the help of YST. What better way to do that than by having them smile and invite us into their apartment?

It was also important to hear from other clients through more traditional interviews. We selected three individuals and interviewed them back-to-back in the same setting. This gave their stories a cohesive look and feel, which is subtly pleasing to viewers.

I’m really proud of how this video came together. It exudes inspiration, hope, and—most importantly—joy. I think it clearly shows the positive impact Youth Services has on our community.

I was going through some old projects and rediscovered this documentary I produced six years ago. I'm very proud of how this turned out. I'm extremely grateful to the Allen family for giving me the access and letting me tell Lefty's story. He has an amazing life story...professional baseball player, business owner and a legacy left for his family through the generations.

As always I'm thankful for the people who helped me see this project come to life:

Diane Bewley
Michael Blair
David Bewley
Guy Giaimo-McClung
Todd Ruffin
The Osage County Historical Museum
Garrett Hartness

We produced this short documentary under the former name of our company, Your Story Media. It profiles James "Lefty" Allen. He played minor league baseball…

It feels like every time you blink, there’s a new AI tool on the market promising to revolutionize the way we approach marketing—and video creation is no exception. With just a few clicks, you can now generate an entire script, create lifelike voiceovers, and produce a professional-looking video that would have taken weeks (and a hefty budget) not too long ago.

The possibilities are exciting, no doubt. AI-generated video tools are becoming increasingly advanced, making it easier than ever for marketers to produce polished content quickly and affordably. Whether it’s for social media, a product demo, or brand storytelling, the potential is massive.

But here's the thing—just because you can create a slick video with AI doesn’t always mean you should, especially without a strong foundation. As the technology becomes more accessible, the need for clarity, purpose, and storytelling becomes even more essential. A beautifully rendered video won’t land with your audience if the message is muddy or the story is confusing.

Before diving headfirst into your next AI-powered video project, take the time to really define the narrative. What are you trying to say? Who are you speaking to? What action do you want your audience to take? The technology is a powerful tool, but it’s only as strong as the story behind it.

So yes, lean into the possibilities AI offers—but don’t skip the strategy. In the end, it’s not just about what you create—it’s about why it matters.

Get your next video project off to a great start and find the best story that reaches your target audience and motivates them to take action.

🎥✨ It’s the little things that make a big difference—lighting, sound, wardrobe, the right question at the right time.

A client recently shared this, and it honestly meant the world to me:

“Dan was very detail-oriented… a good storyteller. He knew how to ask the right questions to draw out the right answers in order to tell the right story… he has continued to be a great videographer and storyteller for us and has become a good friend.”

I pour a lot of heart into every project—not just to get the shot, but to help people tell their stories with clarity and authenticity. It’s never just about the video. It’s about connection, trust, and making something that feels real.

Grateful for every opportunity to do what I love—and the friendships that come from it. 💛

For me, it’s not just about making something look good on camera—it’s about making sure the story behind it is told with care, clarity, and authenticity. That means paying attention to everything: lighting, sound, setting, and most importantly, people.

Grateful for the trust, the collaborations, and the friendships that come from this work. 🎥✨

I always say I’m not just looking for clients—I’m building relationships. Chad Detwiler is a perfect example of that. As the President and CEO of Recovering Oklahomans After Disaster, Chad and I have built a strong connection over the years. Now, when he calls or emails with a request, I immediately understand his vision. And when I’m on location capturing video for ROAD, he trusts my creative direction. I’m grateful for the friendship we’ve built and always look forward to working with Chad!

In a world overflowing with polished ads and scripted sales pitches, authenticity is what truly connects with audiences. People crave real stories, real emotions, and real brands that align with their values.

✨ Why authenticity matters in marketing videos:
✅ Builds trust—Consumers can spot inauthenticity from a mile away.
✅ Creates emotional connections—People relate to real experiences, not staged perfection.
✅ Increases engagement—Authentic content feels personal, making viewers more likely to interact and share.
✅ Strengthens brand loyalty—Being genuine helps you attract and retain customers who believe in your mission.

🎬 Tips for creating authentic marketing videos:
🔹 Showcase real people—your team, customers, or community.
🔹 Share behind-the-scenes moments and honest experiences.
🔹 Focus on storytelling over selling.
🔹 Keep it natural—ditch the overly scripted, robotic delivery.

Authenticity isn’t just a trend; it’s the secret sauce for long-term success. So, let your brand’s true voice shine! 🌟

Here’s a video I produced for Soldier’s Wish featuring Tom Beck. His authenticity really drives this video home. It shows his vulnerability, sense of humor, and determination—all of which help ensure the message gets through and truly connects with the audience.
