OUR STORY

1Z Circle Black.png

1Z MEDIA was founded in 2015 by director and cinematographer Johnny Harrington. 10 years later 1Z Media has formed into a collaboration of award winning filmmakers, travelers and all around outdoor enthusiasts. 

 

Today, the company is led by Johnny and executive producer Thomas Backer, who bring a wealth of experience from their work on award-winning television shows featured on Netflix, History, CBS News, ABC, The Weather Channel, Nat Geo, Discovery, Animal Planet, and Shark Week. Building on their network expertise, along with commercial and branded content production, 1Z MEDIA has expanded its focus to collaborate with the world’s leading outdoor brands—delivering impactful campaigns, broadening social reach, and fostering lasting partnerships.

 

Our creative process adapts and evolves with the times, collaborating closely with clients to deliver content that thrives in a diluted creative industry. In the demanding world of outdoor media, every project brings unique challenges—whether navigating extreme weather, remote locations, or dangerous wildlife— our strengths lie in meticulous preparation and strategy to produce captivating results.

 

With strong relationships across leading professionals, brands, and businesses in the outdoor industry, we’re ready to help bring your story to life.
