About
I’m Ward Hiney, a senior video editor and director with 15+ years of experience helping national brands tell their stories through video. I specialize in brand and product video, paid social content, and large-scale broadcasts, delivering clear, brand-safe results on tight timelines.
I thrive in fast-paced environments, stepping in as overflow or retainer support, building in-house production capabilities, and collaborating with marketing, brand, and executive teams to translate business goals into compelling visuals. From strategy and on-set direction to scriptwriting and post-production, I focus on quality, efficiency, and measurable results.
