Meet Ricky — Founder & Filmmaker
I’m Ricky — an award-winning filmmaker and the founder of Captive Media, a boutique production company based in Phoenix, Arizona.
After years of working with agencies and brands of all sizes, I noticed something: too often, ego gets in the way of authentic storytelling. I started Captive Media to change that — to create space for real, human stories told with heart and intention.
I believe everyone has a story worth telling. Some people just need a little help.
And that’s what I do.
I help brands, creators, and organizations uncover what makes their story powerful — then bring it to life through cinematic, emotionally-resonant media. Our process is built on collaboration, trust, and creativity without ego.
Art Without Ego — that’s the Captive Media way.
