my why
ALI HADLEY RICH
OWNER & LEAD CINEMATOGRAPHER
Here's a little glimpse into my why.
I’m very close to my family. My parents and grandparents are some of my greatest inspirations and my sister and brother are my best friends. Whenever we’re together we pour fat glasses of Bourbon, obsess over old photos, videos, and memorabilia, and swap stories until the early morning hours. For us these old clips and funny stories are a great source of amusement... but to my grandma? They're precious gold. They’re all that she has left of her family. Of my grandpa.
Imagine this for yourself for a moment: 30 years from now you're listening to your parent’s voices, watching your best friends cry at the altar next to you, or reliving your daughter's first months of life. These films will take on completely new meaning. No doubt you'll be laughing at the music that’s going to be considered oldies in the 2060's but isn't that what it's all about? Is there anything more precious than this?
To me these films are a priceless gift and one of my greatest achievements in this life.
A fun fact about
Her Third Eye
My biz name was gifted to me by my father, Russ Hadley, who built and owned a production company in Kansas City under the name Third Eye Productions for 30 years.
When I started my own business, I repurposed the name when he retired it, adding the "her" and carrying on the torch.
