Storytellers rooted in the Lowcountry.
How we got started
Boda Studios started out of a love for creating content, with a background in film, television, and live theater. It grew from helping people in our own network who needed real video, and it’s been one person from day one. The moment it became real: a hockey coffee collab between Sir Owlverick’s (Wild Ones Coffee) and the Anaheim Ducks landed two commercials on NHL.com’s homepage. That’s when it stopped being a hobby.
How we got to Charleston
Family brought us to Charleston. A COVID era shutdown and a growing family made the question of where to put down roots a real one, and Charleston meant getting closer to where we grew up, splitting the distance between two families rooted in Tennessee and Florida.

Hey, I'm Casey, founder of Boda Studios. We're a production company based right here in Charleston, South Carolina.
Boda started with a simple love for storytelling. I started my career in film and television and live theater, and then that grew helping people in my own network who really needed video.
The moment it became more than just a side hustle was when we partnered with a coffee brand in collaboration with the Anaheim Ducks and landed two commercials on NHL.com's homepage. That's when I knew this was the whole thing.
150+ videos for businesses across Charleston, Summerville, and beyond.
Our style is cinematic, with a little drama. Not too clean or too safe, but it always starts with your vision, not ours.
Every single project runs directly through me, personally, start to finish. You get my direct line and not some account manager who's three steps removed.
If you've got a story worth telling, I would love to hear it. Let's talk.
Not every video partner works the same way.
The Typical Videographer
- ×One person handling everything: shooting, editing, and every follow-up
- ×No real systems or client portal: just emails and texts, and hoping nothing falls through the cracks
- ×Timelines that stretch out when they're overbooked or juggling multiple clients
- ×Quality that depends on the day, with no second set of eyes
- ×No backup plan if something falls through
The Big Agency
- ×No direct point of contact: you're shuffled between different people depending on what part of the project you're in, sometimes without ever speaking to the person doing the work
- ×Account managers and coordinators between you and the people making your video
- ×Overhead (office space, staff layers) baked into every invoice
- ×The senior team pitches the work, then hands it to junior staff to execute
- ×Timelines built around their process, not your deadline
- ×Long contracts and retainers that lock you in whether the work is working or not
Boda Studios
- A direct line to the person leading your project: you get the founder's number, not an account manager's
- Founder-led, with 20+ years across entertainment and storytelling
- A real team of production professionals, not one person wearing every hat
- A fraction of agency cost: no bloated overhead built into your invoice
- A team that moves fast, without cutting corners on the work
- Trusted by real Charleston brands, including a commercial that ran on NHL.com
- Every asset earns its place in your funnel: evergreen content built to keep working long after it's delivered, not a video that's watched once and forgotten
Why we love what we do
It starts with a lifelong love of cinema, and the relationships that come with the work: getting to know a business well enough to tell its real story. That's personal. Watching a business owner invest in their community was something Casey's father did, and it shapes how we work with every client.
Our perspective
Cinematic is the house style, a little dramatic rather than clean and safe by default, though the client's vision always comes first. What separates good video from bad rarely comes down to the camera. It's lighting, depth, and audio, the things people most underestimate.
How we work with clients
Hands-on, start to finish. Every client gets Casey's direct number and email, because he's overseeing every project personally from first call to final delivery. The best work comes from real partnership: what a client knows about their business shapes the piece as much as our instincts do.
Four steps, from first call to final file.

The team
Boda Studios is a small video production crew that works like a bigger one: corporate video, brand film, event coverage, and photography, all handled in-house from pre-production through final delivery. Every project runs through the same team: strategy and production leadership, creative and visual direction, on-site production support, and photography and event coverage.
