Lights, Laughter, Love:
A Media Producer’s Tale of Art,
Parenthood, and Purpose

Once upon a time, in a world filled with dazzling artists and rad daddies, there was a man named Cabe Lindsay. His philosophy in life was simple: focus on the brilliance and beauty around us, because that’s where the real magic happens. With a camera in hand and a mischievous smile on his face, Cabe was always ready to capture the joyous moments that make life worth living.

You see, Cabe was a master storyteller, with an impressive repertoire that spanned children’s literature, young adult fiction, non-fiction, fine art, music, and film. He was a creative force to be reckoned with, and his work reflected the sheer joy he found in the world. As the owner and director of Arise Video Studio in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas, he brought his artistic vision to life.

Capturing the Magic on Camera and Canvas

If you were curious to witness the magic firsthand, all you had to do was look and listen to one of the spirited music videos by his band, Cosmic Butterflies. There, you would be transported into a whimsical world where imagination ran wild and creativity knew no bounds. Cabe aspired to make the world a better place, one simple glimpse of everyday heaven at a time.

But let’s rewind a bit and delve into the backstory of this extraordinary artist. Cabe Lindsay grew up in the charming town of Lander, Wyoming, where his dad was an elementary art teacher and his mom was a pianist. Blessed with two encouraging parents who believed in his artistic abilities, Cabe defied the dreaded “starving artist” stereotype. He never went hungry, but he did have his fair share of worries about making ends meet.

Then, one day, as he gazed at the wildflowers swaying in the breeze, inspiration struck. Cabe decided to follow the flowers’ example, and go where the winds of destiny carried him. Like a tumbleweed, he flowed through a formal education and gathered over 20 years of professional experience in advertising. It was a journey of self-discovery, and along the way, he found his true calling as a media maker, specializing in the art of documentary storytelling.

He was no ordinary media producer; he was a creative force to be reckoned with. Boy, did he know how to spin a tale! Cabe had a knack for creating heart-warming films that brought tears to your eyes, thought-provoking commercials that made you ponder life’s mysteries, and cause-related marketing videos that spread like wildfire with a million views on Facebook. Impressive, right?

From Crying Babies to Cinematic Triumphs

Before Cabe Lindsay became the mastermind behind Arise in 2014, he roamed the land of tech firms, lending his artistic touch as an art director and marketing director for big shots like CA and Textron. Advertising was his true calling, and he had the battle scars of 20+ years of experience to prove it. Plus, he even had a fancy Master of Arts degree from the prestigious University of Texas at Austin. Formal education and hands-on know-how—that was the winning combo.

No matter the client, be it tech firms, health practitioners, global brands, or indie rock bands, Cabe’s persuasive communication skills were a force to be reckoned with. His work was consistent, delivering top-notch quality that left clients grinning from ear to ear.

As the media production manager at Arise, Cabe had a mountain of responsibility on his shoulders. Picture this: overseeing a staggering 500+ corporate videos per year! But fear not, for Cabe was no stranger to achievement. His client roster read like a who’s who of the business world: Samsung, Microsoft, Stonyfield, Ashley Furniture, Walmart—you name it, Cabe worked his magic for them.

Documentaries, Doodles, and Daddyhood

With a wealth of real-world experience from the School of Life, Cabe embraced his role as an artist and a brother to all. But that wasn’t the only twist in his story. Between graduate school and finding his calling as a videographer, Cabe became a rad daddy to three incredible kids. They kept him on his toes, adding a skip to his step and a sparkle to his eyes.
