    PARTNER

    Worth is co-owner of Off The Map Media. He has had a lifelong love for creative work of all sorts, ranging from photography, video, and, lately, a whole lot of world-building for TTRPGs. He spent the better part of a decade working in professional software development and design, before joining Andrew as a business partner. At OTM, he’s often in the field on a shoot, and also works as an editor and producer. He still loves making software, and lives in Boulder, Colorado.

  • Tim Kaminski

    Tim Kaminski’s journey in filmmaking took a few detours but he eventually found himself where he’d always wanted to be: Telling stories on-screen. It took years of working solo before he found his way on to small, scrappy film teams and from there it’s been a blur. Since 2010, Tim’s been fortunate enough to work alongside Emmy and Academy Award winning directors and producers. He’s also had the great satisfaction and pride of helming two documentary features. When not behind the camera, he finds joy as a lead editor at Off The Map Media, seeking out stories within the many hours of documentary footage. Tim lives in Colorado with his wife and two kids.
