FOUNDER/CEO

I have been filmmaking ever since I first had access to the technology to do so, using my family’s photo/video camera (dedicated to Christmas memories and summer vacations) to create small films with my friends. I have always been enamored by the concept of visual storytelling, and enjoy working both in front of and behind the camera. I have been acting since 2007, and hold my Bachelor of Arts in Film and Media Studies from Georgia State University. My hobbies include reading, watching old campy horror movies, or spending quality time with my brother Timothy, cat-nephew Smokey, or my partner Ean. I love what I do because I believe that art and cinema seek to preserve the feelings and experiences we have in life, and I’d love to capture your most important memories.

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

I am an actor and filmmaker who has grown up here in Georgia. I graduated from the University of North Georgia with a Bachelor of Science in Film and Digital Media Production. Some of my crowning achievements are winning the Best Student Film Award for my first short, and being a nominee for multiple other shorts. I have worked on many different sets as both an actor and various leading crew positions. Taking on roles such as Director, Cinematographer, Sound Mixer, Gaffer, Production Assistant, and more, I have a wide range of experience in and around a film set. When I am not on set, I like to cuddle with my cat Zelda, play Dungeons and Dragons, or broaden my horizons by consuming new media. I am excited to bring new stories to life, whether they be the romance of a wedding, the electricity of a live event, or the creativity of a passion project.

MUSIC PRODUCER

Hey there! My name is Chase Hunter, art and music are a tremendous part of my life. My partner and I currently own a home in Pensacola, FL with our two “wienerschnitzels”; Russell and Otis. I’ve always had a big love for making my daydreams a reality in some form or another, whether it be via a painting or a song. My inspirations can be gained from something as overlooked as the rhythm of waves crashing on the beach to the tone of a loved one’s voice. Over the past 10 years, music has taught me that even the tiniest properties of life can make a huge impact on us, whether we realize it or not. From concepts, to occasions, to advertisements, I hope to create for you something worthwhile!

COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

I am one of those people who had to warn my husband on our first date to NOT go to my cringe YouTube page I created when I was seven years old. Hi, I’m Chelsey, and I’ve had a heart for telling people-centered stories as far back as I can remember. I took my high school’s film and television class for EVERY elective spot I had available (yes, that’s eight times, hey Mrs. Collier, love you!), got my Bachelor in Arts in Film and TV Production at Georgia State University, and worked as a Production Assistant and Background Actor on multiple movie and tv sets. My claims to fame are the time I showed up for two whole seconds on an episode of MacGyver and when I waved at Sebastian Stan from 50 yards away. I even got my Master of Arts in Ministry, so if you book me for a wedding, you get a videographer and backup officiant for the price of one! On a typical wedding day, you can find me capturing your special day, as well as helping do groomsmen’s hair, giving directions to vendors, dancing with grandma, and having a good laugh with you and your partner. I go above and beyond to make sure you love your big day as much as my husband and I loved ours. When you book me for a photoshoot/videoshoot, you not only get beautiful authentic memories forever encapsulated, you get a new friend.

CONSTELLATION CONNECTOR

Hey there, my name’s Leah! I’m thrilled to hop on the Moon Trip team and share my passion for helping young filmmakers find their voice. When I’m not working, you can find me curled up with my cat, Zelda, and a good fantasy book or belting out my favorite show tunes. I’ve been acting in the film industry for over 10 years and got my Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from the University of Georgia in 2020. I discovered my passion for teaching young actors soon after, and developed a new program to introduce actors to the art of filmmaking along with my husband, Adam. Together, we’ve helped dozens of middle and high schoolers write, direct, produce, and act in their very first short films. I’ve been so inspired watching these young creative minds grow into the confident filmmakers of the future! I’m passionate about uplifting the voices of this next generation of filmmakers and giving them the tools they need to go far!
