Owen Garitty picked up his first camera—a Pentax film camera—when he was ten-years-old. He’s since been developing a vision for marketing and film within our complex digital world that rises artistically above the noise. Garitty created FPW Media to challenge the beige and boring paradigm media had fallen into—one where each individual message becomes just another pixel in the greater screen. FPW Media creates meaningful and effective media content, advertising, and marketing strategies with an artistic edge that helps clients stand out. Through his work with Hyperlite Wakeboarding, Hallspot, and others, Garitty proves he created FPW Media to stay ahead in a fast-paced world.

It’s this passion for learning and fascination with the world around us that drives his passion for post-production and endlessly learning new tools to implement in this creative process.

Before moving to Eugene, Oregon for school, Lizbeth Silva-Tovar lived in the small, rural town of Glendale, Oregon. Though small, this town offered her the opportunity to grow as a storyteller. From working at her mom’s food truck to participating in sports and extracurricular activities such as softball and 4-H, she learned she could find an interesting story wherever she went. All you had to do was listen. Attending the University of Oregon on an academic scholarship, her love for storytelling turned into an academic endeavor. As an advertising and journalism student she was able to learn from talented professors and explore the various realms of media. At FPW Media, she continues to learn more about the art of storytelling and the mediums used to tell a visual story.
