About

Two College Students. One Collective. All In.

Our Mission

We started New Media Collective because we believed athlete stories deserved better than a highlight reel. Based in Athens and Atlanta, we build content that makes people care about athletes they've never heard of — and care even more about the ones they already know.

We're two rising seniors at the University of Georgia, building a media collective from the ground up. No blueprint. No safety net. Just two cameras, a vision, and a U.S. Champion who trusted us first.

What We Build

  • Cinematic short-form — Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts built around real athlete moments, not just highlights.
  • Documentary series — Long-form storytelling that follows athletes across entire seasons and journeys.
  • Challenge & competition content — Formats like Can You Freight Train? that pull casual audiences into the sport.
  • Photography & visual assets — Meet-day coverage, training shoots, and branded graphics that make athletes look as good on social as they perform.
