Hello there, I'm Zee; longtime nerd, aspiring author and niche content creator. I run the Demarcation Media YouTube channel, reviewing various toy brands. I've had a passion for storytelling for as long as I can remember. Much of my younger life was spent coming up with all kinds of stories, with both writing and film. Now, I use the skills God has given me to tell stories with my editing, content creation and even with full on books!

Briana is an award-winning editor contracted by Life Focus Pictures since 2021. Her foray into the world of technology and videography started at a young age; as the daughter of a tech nerd, she practically grew up on the computer and got her hands on some of the latest innovations in the industry soon after their release. Her love for film grew from a passion for learning by doing, primarily self-taught through YouTube University and trial-and-error. This culminated in the creation of a feature-length film submitted into competition at the Maryland State Theatre Festival in 2010 for which she won first place.

She is an entrepreneur in her own right and works in the world of media in multiple ways: as owner of Like You Mean It Productions; co-host, editor, and producer of Shockingly Wicked: A True Crime Podcast, a top 10% most followed podcast on Spotify; tech director at Mosaic Church in Lynchburg, Virginia; and a script spotter for translated and language-adapted film and television through NYAV Post such as the English dubs for the Netflix series Kotaro Lives Alone, LucasFilm's Star Wars: Visions, and Mamoru Hosoda's Belle.

Hi! My name is Angela, owner of AEasley Virtual Solutions, a virtual assistant service that helps online educators build and grow their audience by handling their back-end management so they can focus on what they love!

I've lived in the Lynchburg area my entire life. I've worked in Customer Service for over 25 years, 18 of those in the insurance industry and I pride myself providing great customer service.

I love traveling with my fiance and daughter, all things Hello Kitty and office supplies!

AEVS was created in 2020 when I saw a need for helping small business owners with their back-end tasks and processes. From admin tasks to podcast management, blog post management to landing page creation and workflow management.
