Case Study · Electrical Connections

8years of showing them as they are

Who they are is the whole pitch.

Since 2018 we've been the video team for Electrical Connections, a Maryland contractor. Commercial spots that put them in front of the right customers, and a recruiting film built from the crew's own words — because the truest thing you can show a future hire is the company you already are.

Case Study · Easter at Redeemer

19scenes, filmed for a live stage

The screen became part of the stage.

For Easter at Redeemer, nineteen scenes were built to play alongside live performers — cinematic films and full-stage LED worlds that had to land on the exact beat the actors hit. The goal was simple: that the audience would stop seeing a screen and start seeing a stormy sea, a temple, a hill outside the city.

Case Study · DC 127

10years of showing up for DC's kids

A decade of mission, told in one night.

For DC 127's ten-year anniversary celebration, we captured the families, volunteers, and stories behind the numbers — a film made to move a room to give.

How we work

From your story to the screen, in four steps.

You don’t need to know how video gets made. That’s our job — here’s exactly what happens after you reach out.

01

Discovery

We start with a conversation about your story, your goals, and who you need to reach.

02

Planning

Scripts, storyboards, shot lists, locations, gear — a plan you approve before we roll.

03

Production

On set: directing, lighting, sound, interviews, and the visuals that carry your story.

04

Delivery

Edit, color, sound design, motion graphics — and files ready for every platform.

About the founder

The mission is simple: to project your light.

I'm Zachary Schermerhorn, founder of ProLight Media. You don't get an agency — you get a team that actually shows up, with me on your project end to end. If your work has purpose, we'll help you bring it to life with visuals that move people to care — and act.

ProLight Media is a boutique studio, which means we work closely with every client to shape your vision, capture it with care, and deliver something that feels real.
