Who we are:

Red Orchid Productions is lead by a husband and wife team, Tory and Annie Hooton.  We started out in video production as a hobby  we could do together as a creative outlet.  We quickly fell in love with the powerful and limitless possibilities of artistic expression that video production can have and decided to pursue it more seriously by starting our own business. Over the past several years this “hobby” has moved from mild interest to near obsession. Tory has been invested in a full time creative position in broadcast television at “NTV” A station with one of the largest coverage areas in the nation (by area). Over the years between Red Orchid and Tory’s “day job” we have completed hundreds of projects. It has been amazing to get to be creative for a living and we feel blessed to be able to create together.

Tory CEO // CREATIVE DIRECTOR has been involved in the “arts” for a long time in many different ways.   From playing bass in many bands, to being heavily involved in live theater, he is always dreaming about doing art that impacts society.  Tory has an AA in “Theater Arts and Communication” and a BA in English and Philosophy.  He currently also works at NTV (Nebraska Television Network) and Fox Nebraska as a “Promotions Producer” where he does motion graphics, 3d work and editing,  to develop the stations branding.

Annie HEAD STORYTELLER has also pursued the arts through music and theater.  She studied interior design and music in college before settling on a family studies major with a minor in philosophy.  She is now a full time mommy and loves being able to work at home and have a creative outlet through Red Orchid.  Annie brings a wealth of influences and always brings projects to a new level of polish.

Why we love what we do:

This has been one of the most fulfilling artistic endeavors we have yet found. Video Production brings together all of our artistic passions and provides a playground to express them all together.  One of our greatest joys is crafting raw materials into something that moves an audience, whether it is in an ad that truly communicates, or a wedding film that makes you feel in love.  Developing our skill with video has brought us closer to people and makes us feel more alive! Whats not to love about that?
