Established in 2009. Built for Scale.

Kathman Studios began in a college dorm room at the University of South Florida, when founder Dan Kathman launched his first production company while still a student. What started with campus events and student organizations quickly expanded into professional event coverage and branded production work.

Over the years, that early momentum evolved into large-scale projects spanning corporate events, national broadcast campaigns, and multi-day productions across Texas and Florida. The company refined its focus toward high-level event media, developing the systems, crew structure, and production discipline required for enterprise environments.

Today, Kathman Studios specializes in corporate event video and photography for conferences, leadership summits, brand activations, and large-format experiences. Our work captures not just moments, but scale, energy, and brand presence.

Based in Clearwater, Florida and serving clients nationwide, we bring nearly two decades of experience, structured production workflows, and a broadcast-level standard to every engagement.

Seventeen years in, we continue building with intention, focused on delivering professional event media that reflects the scale and reputation of the organizations we serve.
