Our Story

Coastal Crest Studios began with nothing more than an iPhone 7 and a shaky football match video in college. People loved it, and that moment opened a rabbit hole—researching cameras, experimenting with visuals, and discovering the art of storytelling.

For me, photography and videography became more than just a hobby. Being dyslexic, the “normal” paths never felt like they fit. Coding was interesting, gaming was fun, but neither had the depth or creativity that I craved. When I picked up a camera, I found something different—an endless space to experiment, learn, and create. That curiosity became Coastal Crest Studios: a place to experiment, a place to grow, and a place to tell stories that matter.

Our Mission

At Coastal Crest Studios, our mission is simple:
To help brands find their voice through experimentation, creativity, and honesty.

We believe there’s no single recipe for success. Every brand is unique, and only by experimenting, testing, and refining can you discover what truly works. Our job is to cut the clutter, strip things back, and bring the truth of your brand to life—without forcing you into something you’re not.

Our Vision

We see Coastal Crest Studios growing beyond social media. Into high-quality ads, commercials, documentaries, and even films. Into Coastal Crest Innovations, where we’ll build our own technologies and products. Into a Coastal Crest Campus—a creative hub that stands for openness, fairness, and honesty.

Our vision is to reshape the industry into something more human, more creative, and more trustworthy.

Our Values

  • Storytelling: Everything starts with a story worth telling.

  • Quality: Great work takes time, planning, and attention to detail.

  • Honesty: Vulnerability and truth connect more deeply than trends.

  • Enjoyment: Creativity is a process—one we should laugh, share, and enjoy together.

What Makes Us Different

We don’t just create content. We create connection.

Our polished cinematic style focuses on truth and feeling, not gimmicks. Yes, we can deliver the visuals—but more importantly, we guide you through the process, make it enjoyable, and build something real. Clients tell us they love how easy we are to work with, how we make the process stress-free, and how the results feel authentic.

We’re not here to rush last-minute projects. We’re here to build content that matters.

Our Journey So Far

  • Edited projects for a university and government campaigns—both won first place.

  • Licensed drone operator with 4+ years experience.

  • Google reviews highlighting not just the work, but the experience of working with us.

This is just the beginning.

The Human Side

I’m Adam Zaim, a digital media graduate, tech nerd, drone flyer, and someone who believes imagination is the best gift I’ve got. Dyslexia made me approach life differently—while writing and “normal” tasks aren’t always easy, creating comes naturally. I see things in frames, colours, and stories—and I love turning that into something real.
