Get to know me
A full-time freelancer videographer, educator, writer, & producer since 2018, I hope my works speaks for itself.
Tyler Shown
BAND VIDEOGRAPHER
WHERE IT ALL STARTED.
Owner | Jolly Mule Productions

Since 2018, the music industry has taken me to New Orleans, Red Rocks, Portugal, Philadelphia, London, and quite a few in-between.
Wedding Videographer
6 YEARS AT THE SIDE OF SO MANY BRIDES & GROOMS
I STILL CRY
…and dance.
These days my team only take 12-15 weddings a year, but you’re sure to see me on the dance floor, camera in-hand, capturing those once-in-a-lifetimes.
Traveler
27 COUNTRIES AND COUNTING.
THAILAND, NEW ZEALAND, LONDON AND THE PROJECTS THAT TAKE ME THERE
I often seek out projects abroad, seasonally, preferring to stay 1-2 months in any given location.
production
ORGANIZING EVENTS & CONCERTS SINCE MY TEENS, I CONSULT FOR VARIOUS MUSIC & FILM FESTIVALS, NON-PROFITS, AND COMMERCIAL ENDEAVORS ALIKE.
IF YOU’RE ONE OF MY FILM STUDENTS, YOU CAN CALL ME “MR. T”
JOLLY MULE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT GIVING BACK, RAISING EXPECTATIONS, AND INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF DO-GOODERS.
“SMILES GO MILES”
Soccer (Football)
I’VE PLAYED MY WHOLE LIFE, REACHED SEMI-PRO STATUS, AND SEEK OUT THE BEAUTIFUL GAME EVERY LOCATION I GO.
To my delight, I’ve played 2v2 games on the streets of St. Petersburg, barefoot games on dirt fields in Chiang Mai, and as I certified Footy Addict, roamed the various pitches of London.
IT WASN’T UNTIL RECENT YEARS THAT I COMBINED MY LOVE OF THE SPORT & CAMERA PROWESS INTO BENEFICIAL ALLIES.
MORE THAN GOALS
My goals and passions change with the wind; My freedom of life has taken me to 27 countries, meeting people all along the way. I hope they all meet one day, and maybe my videos can be that bridge. My platforms are used to spread positivity, motivation, and entertainment. If not I, then who?

“His work speaks for itself in a phenomenal, captivating, and empowering way. ”
“Through community outreach, summer film series, short film challenges, and advertising work, Jolly Mule Productions has brought a new depth to the artistic community in Pueblo. Tyler Shown is professional, generous, inspiring, and absolutely amazing to work with.”
“My band, Euforquestra, has used Jolly Mule Productions for several projects, including filming/photographing our shows and as media consultants for our music festival, Camp Euforia. They have consistently produced great work, and are very easy to work with.
Don’t be fooled by their age. These guys are very serious, creative, hardworking, friendly, unbelievably timely, and their production value is incredible. They know what they’re doing, and they do it well.”
“The Jolly Mule Productions team is spectacular! They produced a video to explain pieces of my career and lifestyle in a way that gives the viewer/listener an honest, intriguing experience. During filming and in post, everything I asked for - they delivered. Their energy and ideas carried the project from concept to creation and I am so jolly to have them as my go-to with future projects!”
