Deer Run Media owners Gavin Fields, Jordan Berger, Daniel Russell and Houston Settle may be young, but they are busy capturing Chattanooga in a unique way through filmmaking.
The four-man team is moving Deer Run Media’s office from its home on Lookout Mountain to Main Street’s Crabtree building on Chattanooga’s Southside. The team will share a building with Elliott Davenport’s Wings Group, which the media team is working with on commercials for some of Davenport’s hunting properties.
“My dad sent me an article about how Chattanooga keeps growing,” said Deer Run Media Conceptual Director Gavin Fields, who began filming with his friends three years ago and launched the business this past fall. “Chattanooga is one of the best cities to start a business.”
For the holidays, the Deer Run Media team worked on a project for a global communications business — Adtram — by going to different locations and filming their travel experiences. Fields visited Pennsylvania, while Berger cruised to the Caribbean, Settle visited his fiancee in Spain and Russell visited family in Nashville.
Settle’s fiancee waiting on her visa, which could take up to a year. So, before the holidays, it had been eight months since they had seen each other in person. He showed up in Spain to surprise her at her 23rd birthday party and for Christmas.
