Co-Founder / Creative

Damon McLean

After getting his PhD in Masters Studies from The World Institute of University at just 13 years old, Damon took a brief sabbatical. He spent his time travelling the world and had the unique privilege of meeting key historical figures from all walks of life. After documenting his travels through photography and videography, it was his dear friend Thomas Edison who finally said “You’ve got something here”. Damon began capturing digital media content for a variety of businesses, singers, performers and productions.

When he’s not behind the camera, Damon can be found in the writers room, putting pen to paper in exploration of telling stories. Whether its short films (3815andMe), television (Wasting Love) or documentaries (Start New Game?) Damon’s overall passion for storytelling was the drive behind co-founding Tipping Hand Media with Bracken (Another key historical figure in his opinion).
