I’m Geoff Fagien, a filmmaker, cinematographer and technology creator based in Fort Lauderdale and founder of Reach Films.

Geoff Fagien

Filmmaker, Cinematographer and Technology Creator

Geoff Fagien—also professionally credited as Geoffrey Fagien—is a filmmaker, cinematographer and content creator based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is the founder of Reach Films, creator and host of the Geoff Fagien YouTube channel, and Assistant Publisher at JAZZIZ Magazine.

Geoff’s work combines professional filmmaking experience with a practical understanding of cameras, production technology and the constantly evolving tools available to modern creators. Whether he is working behind the camera, producing a commercial project, interviewing an artist or reviewing new technology, his focus remains the same: creating high-quality work with tools that make sense in the real world.

Filmmaking and Cinematography

Geoff began his filmmaking career producing action-sports and wakeboarding videos, an environment that required creative camera movement, quick decision-making and the ability to capture unpredictable moments. Those early productions helped shape the energetic, cinematic visual style that continues to influence his work.

Through Reach Films, Geoff has worked across commercial production, documentaries, narrative projects, branded content, live music performances, interviews and aerial cinematography. His experience covers the complete production process, including concept development, directing, cinematography, camera operation, editing, color grading and post-production.

Geoff has served as a director of photography on independent film productions and has produced video content for artists, businesses, publications and organizations throughout South Florida and beyond. He is also an FAA Part 107-certified drone pilot with extensive experience incorporating aerial footage into commercial and cinematic productions.

His approach is built around flexibility. Geoff works with compact mirrorless cameras, cinema cameras, drones, gimbals and professional post-production systems, selecting equipment based on the needs of each production rather than the name or price attached to it.

The Geoff Fagien YouTube Channel

Geoff created his YouTube channel to share the knowledge he developed as a working filmmaker and director of photography. The channel has since grown to more than 100,000 subscribers and over 1,000 published videos covering filmmaking, cameras, computers, storage, editing and creator technology.

His videos are designed around actual experience rather than specifications alone. Cameras and other products are tested during real productions, travel, livestreams and everyday content creation. This allows Geoff to discuss not only what a product promises, but how it performs after the initial excitement has worn off.

The channel regularly explores:

• Mirrorless and cinema cameras

• Lenses and camera accessories

• Drones, action cameras and compact creator cameras

• Computers and storage for video production

• Editing and post-production workflows

• Gimbals, microphones and production equipment

• Long-term product reviews

• Practical filmmaking techniques

Geoff has covered technology from companies including Blackmagic Design, Canon, Sony, Nikon, RED, DJI, Apple, Sigma and many others. His perspective is shaped by years of professional production experience and an ongoing search for portable, dependable and cost-effective tools.

The goal of every video is to help filmmakers and creators understand how technology fits into an actual workflow—not simply whether it performs well on a specification sheet.

JAZZIZ Magazine and Music Media

In addition to his filmmaking and YouTube work, Geoff serves as Assistant Publisher at JAZZIZ, one of the world’s most respected jazz publications.

His work with JAZZIZ spans video production, podcasts, artist interviews, digital publishing, livestreaming and audience development. As host of “JAZZIZ: Not What You Think,” Geoff has participated in conversations with musicians, filmmakers and other creative figures while helping expand the magazine’s presence across digital media.

Working at the intersection of filmmaking, music, technology and publishing has given Geoff a broad understanding of how stories can be adapted for different platforms while maintaining a consistent creative identity.

A Practical Approach to Creative Technology

Geoff believes that professional results are not limited to the most expensive equipment. Throughout his career, he has focused on finding the right balance between image quality, portability, reliability and value.

That philosophy shapes both his production work and his technology coverage. Rather than treating every new product as an automatic upgrade, Geoff considers whether it solves a genuine problem, improves a workflow or makes it easier to create consistently.

His recommendations are based on how equipment performs in everyday use—on location, in the studio, while traveling and during post-production.
