Our Story

At Shutter Sauce, our small but effective team of professionals works alongside industry-leading cinematographers and editors to bring your projects to life. We believe that "less is more," as we strive for quality over quantity in order to produce the best video content possible while remaining cost efficient. Our unique approach allows for quickly delivered videos with outstanding results at a fraction of what traditional agencies charge.

Our Mission

Our founder, Farid Askerov, worked as a CPA & Auditor for one of the Top 4 Public Accounting firms. Much time was spent understanding the business processes and sales cycles of large international corporations.

After leaving the industry to pursue entrepreneurship, Shutter Sauce was born with a mission to marry strategy, focused on business growth, with the most compelling and persuasive storytelling medium - video.

How we serve our clients

We work intimately with our clients so that we can produce the best possible results for their business. We find that we are most fulfilled when working with a limited number of clients instead of juggling dozens of projects at one time.

This means going deep with each client, learning exactly how their business functions, including understanding their sales funnel, unique value propositions, target audience and more.

There are an infinite number of ways videos could be utilized, but only a few of them will make you money. We want to find the money-making levers in your business. We will work with you to uncover the biggest opportunities that video can provide to help grow your business.

Proudly serving Seattle since 2018.

We don't just focus on what "looks good", instead choosing to actually care about which obstacles your business is facing. Professional production quality is a given, problem solving is what really matters.

Our Values

The people, culture, values and product/service are what we care about at Shutter Sauce.

Since we choose to focus on quality over quantity, our team's creativity and time is highly valued.

We aren't going to invest our skills into a company we don't believe in just to get a paycheck.

Our videos are designed to drive results, so we are very careful about who we choose to support. If we don't truly believe we can provide the solutions to your problem, we have a moral obligation to tell you.

By operating this way, we hope to amplify messages which will leave the world better than when we found it.

There are an infinite number of ways videos could be utilized, but only a few of them are going to actually work. By asking the right questions, we want to find the opportunities to drive more sales, build better relationships with customers and free up your time to focus on what you do best.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS. POWERFUL STORY.

We’re not your typical production company.

For starters, we don't offer a million different types of videos. Our motto is "Less, but better", and our focus is on building high-performance videos that can elevate your brand & business. This allows us to specialize, streamline and execute your video campaigns without the overhead.
