About Korey Smith

With a background in both motion control and film production, I thrive on pushing the boundaries of creativity to bring unique stories to life. My journey has led me to helm projects that span from directing and producing captivating videos to expertly wielding cutting-edge technology like the Bolt X robot from Mark Roberts Motion Control the leaders in Motion Control Technology. I\'ve had the privilege of collaborating with brands like Kizik, Doterra, Crumbl, Black Rifle Coffee Co, Swig, Brigham Young University, and many more where innovation meets style. Fueling my passion for storytelling is a deep appreciation for the art of cinematography and a knack for capturing moments that resonate. Beyond the lens, I am also the proud owner of Utah Motion Control (@utahmoco), a hub where imagination takes flight, and visual possibilities are explored.
