About

Creative Alchemy

We are Media Desperado. Partners in life, work, and the pursuit of good stories. Former multi-media journalists, current filmmakers, aspiring movie trivia champions. Award-winning producers, animators, editors, weirdos.

Media Desperado is our vessel to make work we actually care about–work you care about–with people who give a damn. We listen to brands and empower the vision with intention and resourcefulness.
We like structure, but we trust chaos. We believe in the power of creative collaboration, and we bring a nurtured network of fellow creatives to every project. Imagine a swiss-army knife of media-making.

This isn’t just production.
It’s
creative alchemy.

Amanda Kitch

Boss B*tch | Producer | Editor

I steer projects from idea to execution–quietly (or not so quietly) pulling the strings. Producing is my superpower: turning vision into reality, managing chaos with care, and keeping the magic intact. I gather the right people, chase what matters, and believe the best work comes from intention, trust, and a little creative mischief… but mostly creative order.

Santiago Rodriguez

Latin Lover | Director | Animator 

Fueled by Colombian coffee and movie madness, I shape stories through motion, editing, and instinct. I move between order and spontaneity, solving problems as they come. I keep calm under pressure, get scrappy when I need to, and always bring the vision to life.
