Our Story
About Hale & HYZE Films
Hale Cornejo is the filmmaker and director behind HYZE Films, a production studio built on reliable, quality-driven production for agencies, events, brands, and destinations alike. Solo or scaled up with a trusted crew, the standard remains the same: dependable execution, delivered consistently, every time.
OUR PROCESS
From first call to final cut.
Five steps, start to finish. You always know what’s next.
01
Discovery Call
We start with you. What’s slowing you down, what you need, and where we can help. You talk, we listen, then we build the plan.
02
Creative Direction
The story, the shots, the schedule. All locked in before a camera comes out.
03
Production Day
We show up ready, the plan is set, and we run the day smoothly. You stay focused on your business, worry-free.
04
Post-Production & Review
Edit, color, and sound come together in a first cut. You review it, and we refine it until it’s right.
05
Delivery
Final files on the agreed date, organized and ready to post.
CONTENT RETAINERS
A month of content. One batch day.
Your whole month of storytelling, filmed in a single day. Show up once, and everything else is taken care of. You get your time back.
One Day, Not Thirty
Filming a month of content in one day means the rest of your month is yours. The creative work, from planning to the final edit, is handled. You keep your time and attention on running your business.
Every Stage In-House
From planning to the final edit, one studio does it all. You get a full month of content, ready to schedule, and then we do it again next month. Consistent content and consistent branding, made easy.
A studio that knows your brand
The same creative direction every month. HYZE Films learns your voice and what works, so the content gets stronger with each cycle.
Retainer vs. Hiring
Hiring in-house means a salary, gear, software, and months before anyone is up to speed. Hiring specialists separately means you're the one coordinating with a videographer, an editor, a planner, and more. A retainer with HYZE Films replaces both. You work with one studio and one point of contact, and we bring in the right specialists from our team for every part of the production. Experienced work, ready from day one.
You focus on your business. We'll handle the storytelling.
EVENT MEDIA
Race day Game day. Launch day. Event day. Covered.
We don't just capture your event. We tell its story. Every frame is built to match the scale of your event, so the finished video feels as big as the day did.
EVERY EVENT WE COVER
If it has a story to tell, we cover it. Every industry, every kind of event. From race day to grand openings, sports tournaments to brand launches, festivals to corporate events & galas, we've got you covered.

Working Together
Both. The work spans race associations, gyms, agencies, and growing brands. What matters is the project, not the size of the business behind it.
Revisions are part of the process, up to two rounds, until it feels right. Getting it right matters more than getting it done.
Yes. Photography and drone coverage are both available on their own or alongside video.
One-Time vs. Ongoing
Both. Single shoots and events, along with monthly content retainers for brands that want a consistent presence.
A one-time project is a single shoot, delivered once. A retainer is ongoing: a set amount of content produced every month, so your brand stays consistent without booking a new project each time.
