About

Hi, I’m Michael Nanus, a senior editor and producer based in Orlando with a passion for crafting compelling video narratives that resonate across platforms. I founded Ultraviolet Video to help brands and creators tell their stories visually, delivering polished edits and engaging content on tight deadlines.

Over the years I’ve collaborated with teams at Hearst, Growing Bolder, WUCF, and WESH to elevate storytelling—from in-depth feature pieces to branded videos and live-event productions. I thrive on collaboration, mentorship, and turning complex ideas into clear, action-driving content.
