Today we’d like to introduce you to Austin Wilson.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Reflecting on growing up, I realize how much the 90s served as the perfect cultural collage for my style as a filmmaker today. Watching shows like Hey Arnold!, The Simpsons, Power Rangers, and TMNT mesmerized me as a kid. I also loved reading books like Redwall and The Hardy Boys and magazines like National Geographic and Popular Science. Playing piano and building with Legos gave me the framework in how to create, but exploring my first computer showed me that creativity and technology can intertwine. Moving into the 2000s, movies like Remember the Titans, Lord of the Rings, and Napoleon Dynamite further helped shape my artistic vision.
I’m so grateful to have had so many hobbies growing up—many of which came from spending summers with my grandparents: golfing early in the morning, digging for fossils, going to the drag strip, playing with RC planes, and launching Estes Model Rockets, all on a steady supply of oatmeal pies. I wouldn’t have the imagination or the drive to pursue storytelling if it weren’t for that eclectic mix of interests, and I’m still constantly trying to stay inspired through new and old hobbies today.
On that note, since we last spoke, I’ve had the opportunity to create and produce more content within the space community. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with many astronauts and even NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman through events with MoonDAO, and I will even be attending Space Camp with the legendary Frank White this coming December.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Growing up in a smaller film and TV market without family or contacts in the industry, my path has mostly been shaped by trial, error, and adaptability. Facing those challenges has been a huge part of developing the resilience to persevere, but finding the right people to build strong creative synergy with can still be tough.
Having recently worked on projects like Nashville 9-1-1 and Scarpetta, I’ve realized how essential it is to align with stories and teams that truly inspire me. At the end of the day, if you’re not having fun and telling meaningful stories, it’s easy to lose sight of why we do this work.
I’m always eager to find like-minded people to collaborate with—both professionally and personally.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Threemedia?
I pride myself on being versatile and hands-on across a wide variety of formats, including run-and-gun filmmaking, recap videos, interviews, corporate productions, live sports, documentaries, short and feature films, and general content creation.
I am comfortable working with a broad range of equipment, operating everything from live broadcast cameras to compact gear like the Osmo Pocket, depending on the needs of the project.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
I just want to encourage everyone to stay creative and stay inspired. Stay tapped into what made you curious as a kid, and keep exploring new ideas and possibilities.
