I produce and lead commercial video that turns complex subjects into human-centered stories. Corporate, documentary-style, and campaign work for brands that need to be felt, not just seen.
Brand films and commercial projects. Every piece below was produced to connect with a real audience and move them to act.
I'm Dillan Schmiedt, a commercial video producer and creative lead based in Maple Grove, Minnesota, with ten years across corporate, documentary-style, and campaign video.
As Video Specialist at Kraus-Anderson, I've produced 160+ videos: K-12 referendum campaigns with a 3-for-3 passage record, a recurring executive leadership series, and brand storytelling for municipalities and economic development. I also mentor junior creatives and lead projects end to end, from concept through delivery.
My strongest skill is finding the human story inside technical subjects, and turning it into work that connects. That's what I want to keep doing, at a larger scale, as a creative leader.
I'm pursuing permanent corporate in-house video roles, agency producer roles, and video-led creative leadership. Remote US or hybrid near Minneapolis.
