The Crew Behind Ernest Media Productions

storytellers, creatives, and people who get it done

We’re a crew of artists, filmmakers, and problem solvers who care about making things that work, not just things that look good. Around here, creativity and clarity go hand in hand. We’re big on intention, low on ego, and always focused on the people behind the project. The goal? Make something that feels right and actually does its job.

Joshua Ernest Adams

FOUNDER, LEAD CREATIVE

I am the founder and lead creative here at Ernest Media Productions. I always knew I wanted to incorporate my grandfather’s name into my life, which is why I named the business Ernest. When I set out to do this, I knew I had found the perfect way to honor him.

I didn’t plan on being in photo and video. I went to school for broadcast media and saw a career in directing either sports or local news. As is often the case, God had other plans, and they have been so much better than my own. Once I picked up a camera again, I knew this would be a part of me for a long time.

In March of 2024 I married the love of my life, Ariela. She is the reason why I do what I do.

I wouldn’t be here without His guidance and the support of my family and friends. If you have any questions or simply want to reach out, please do!

Jason is who you want on set. Able to man any position necessary to get the production done, there's a reason he's the video lead at Ernest. With well over 10 years of experience in the field, he brings an intimate understanding and passion for video production to each project... A close second being his love of coffee.

As he so eloquently put it: "Whatever you need, man, I just want to be there on set."

the way you see things changes everything. we bring that perspective to life.

Anyone can press record, but not everyone sees the shot. It’s the instinct to notice what others miss, the ability to shape a story through subtle choices, and the understanding that how something looks affects how it’s understood. We frame with purpose, edit with clarity, and create visuals that don’t just represent your brand, they define how people experience it.
