My approach begins with aligning on a clear understanding of the ultimate goal of the project. Then, we work backwards to identify all the necessary steps needed to create the highest likelihood of the best possible outcome. Cross-functional team discussions are a welcome way to align on the communication, marketing, and sales goals of our creative deliverables.
I've worked with creative talent across 30 countries and handle hiring crews, finding fixers, securing locations, insurance, payroll, equipment rentals, and all the logistical details necessary for a successful project. I love lists, phone calls, and high fives.
I assemble and lead teams in branded content, documentary-style films, livestream productions, and in-person, hybrid, and corporate events.
A story's magic is shaped in the edit bay. I've edited commercials and training content for beauty brands, cut documentary shorts for Facebook, and acted as a post-production supervisor for corporate event content.
I've created SOPs that were used on dozens of internal comms shows, trained tech teams on remote production techniques, and presented for the leading industry conference for broadcast, media, entertainment, and technology industry.
I'm an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker who has spent my career where creative ambition meets hard constraints. I've assembled and led production teams across the globe for Fortune 500 companies, sports organizations, and media brands.
At Meta, I developed internal communications content regularly reaching 70,000 employees, trained teams in virtual production, and produced virtual and in-person events.
For CBS's Super Bowl LV, I led technical direction for remote production of the opening film, which won the 2021 Sports Emmy for Outstanding Opening/Tease.
I live in Portland, Oregon with my wife, children, and family dog.

“Story Firm (George Mihaly's team) was a fantastic production company to work with. A streamlined service and a very professional end result, without much oversight.”
