Dear Hiring Manager, My name is Micah Dahl, and I'm a video editor, director, and motion graphics artist with 17 years of comprehensive experience in both production and post-production. I'm excited to bring my passion for visual storytelling and technical expertise to your team. As a dedicated filmmaker with a BFA in Filmmaking from MCAD, I take immense pride in every project I create and collaborate on. My love for the medium spans the entire creative process—from initial concept development, writing, and storyboarding through shooting, editing, motion graphics, and final delivery. This holistic approach allows me to understand each project's unique vision and execute it with precision and creativity. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse clients including Arctic Cat, Trolli, Minnesota Twins, Nike/Bauer, Purina, and Schwinn Bicycles. These collaborations have strengthened my ability to adapt my creative vision to meet specific brand objectives while maintaining the highest production standards. Beyond client work, I remain deeply committed to personal creative projects. I recently completed a music video for "Magnetic Rock" by Minneapolis band Deep Fakes, and earlier this year finished a video for local band Curve. My portfolio includes work for numerous artists such as Rupees, Buildings, DUG, Al Church, Sheridan Fox, Seawhores, The Nina, The Pinta, and many others. I'm honored that my work has been showcased at festivals worldwide, from Fargo, ND to London, UK, demonstrating the universal appeal of compelling visual storytelling. What drives me most is the collaborative nature of this industry. I genuinely love working with agencies and clients to bring their visions to life, and I'm proud of the strong professional relationships and network I've built over the years. As a progressive creative spirit, I'm driven to understand the unique needs of each project and client. My curiosity fuels continuous learning and growth in my professional journey. I believe my work reflects my commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship and bold creative decisions. I'm eager to discuss how my experience, passion, and collaborative approach can contribute to your team's continued success. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss this position further. Best regards, Micah Dahl
