My name is Preston Drotsky. I'm 18 years old, and I've known I wanted to do this since the moment I picked up a camera in high school.

What started as a Film & Television subject quickly became my passion. There was something about being able to capture a moment, shape it, and make someone feel something — that feeling never got old. Four years later, it still doesn't.

When I finished high school, the path everyone expected me to take didn't feel right. University debt for a degree I wasn't passionate about, or film school that pointed me toward large productions where creative freedom gets divided between twenty people — neither felt like the answer. I wanted to tell stories on my own terms, be behind the camera, and have a genuine say in the creative vision. So I built Silvermoon Media instead.

The honest truth? I spent two and a half years working a job that paid the bills, and somewhere along the way I realised something: if you're going to spend your time and energy on something, it should matter. Not just to your bank account — but to you, and to the people on the other side of the screen. I'd rather spend my life making work that moves people than show up somewhere that doesn't fulfil me.

Film and poetry are how I make sense of the world. I'm better at one than the other — but both come from the same place. A need to connect, and a need to evoke something real in people. I love making audiences feel more connected — to a brand, to an artist, to an idea. There is genuinely nothing that fulfils me more than finishing a project I'm proud of and watching someone feel emotion and connection.

At Silvermoon Media, I want to work with artists, brands and creatives who care about that too. People who understand that great content isn't just about looking good — it's about building something people genuinely believe in. If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear about your project.
