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.
