Meet Huey Cao | Videographer/Photographer & Content Creator
We had the good fortune of connecting with Huey Cao and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Huey, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
As someone deeply passionate about videography and photography, my journey in this industry has been nothing short of transformative. Through the highs and lows, successes and setbacks, I have come to learn one invaluable lesson that has fundamentally shaped both my business and my personal growth: the power of storytelling.
In the realm of videography and photography, every project presents a unique opportunity to tell a story, to capture moments that evoke emotions, and to create lasting impressions. Whether it’s a wedding, a corporate event, a documentary, or a promotional video, the essence of our craft lies in our ability to weave narratives that resonate with our audience. Lastly, the most important lesson I was taught by my mentor is “ALWAYS HAVE A SENSE OF URGENCY.”
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
So, the journey I’m on? It’s like a rollercoaster with no finish line – there’s always more to learn, you know? Right now, I’m freelancing as a videographer/photographer, and my buddy and I are cooking up plans to launch our own film production company. Let me tell you about Hunter N. – this guy’s got a knack for business, and I’m soaking up all his wisdom like a sponge.
One big lesson I’ve picked up along the way? Don’t be too quick to trust – always get things in writing first. But hey, enough about the serious stuff! Next time you hear about me, there’ll be a fancy “director” tag in front of my name. Sure, I love sharing those cool city clips, but my ultimate dream? Directing a horror movie. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll be watching my spooky flicks on the big screen! 
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I got something better, here is a list of places my partner ”Leslie C.” has taken me –
Spa castle
Bowen back room (speakeasy bar)
Planetarium
Virtual art museum
Candle light concert
Soufflé restaurant
Winery tour
Hotel swexan (library bar, steakhouse, rooftop pool)
Atlas bar
Revéler hall bar
Good boy cafe
Thank me later . Lol
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Hey everyone! So, I’ve got this list of awesome people I want to give a big shoutout to. Let’s kick things off with my amazing supporters – you guys are the real MVPs! Seriously, without your encouragement, I wouldn’t have discovered my knack or gotten better at what I love doing.
Next up, my buddy Marcus Romes deserves a huge high five! He’s not just my bestie, but also an insanely talented photographer who’s shown me the coolest side of creativity.
Oh, and let’s not forget about my mentor, Tim “Autumn” Parker. This guy’s a legend among crypto traders and stocks analysts – he’s been my guiding light on this crazy journey.
Last but definitely not least, my partner in crime, Leslie C.! None of this would be possible without you. You’re not only the most caring and loving mom to our kiddos but also the ultimate drill sergeant (in a totally fun way, of course!).
Remember, it’s all about surrounding yourself with people who cheer you on but aren’t afraid to call you out when needed. No yes-men allowed here, folks!
Sending tons of love to each and every one of you. Stay true to yourselves, and stay AUTHENTIC.
