The Marine who
shoots your film.
TJ Gutierrez — former United States Marine, cinematographer, and founder of Semper Fi Media.
What started in 2020 as a small Dallas marketing agency has grown into a full-fledged cinematic video production company serving brands, businesses, and couples across Texas and beyond.
When the mission calls for more, TJ brings in vetted crew from the Dallas film community. But whatever the project size, you still get one point of contact, one creative vision, and the same standard: Semper Fidelis.
