Our mission
In a world that often feels divided, we believe in stories that unite. Elko Productions exists to highlight those who step up — the changemakers, the quiet heroes, the organizations working behind the scenes. We partner with impact-driven organizations, nonprofits, and purpose-driven businesses in the Annapolis / DMV / Baltimore / DC area (and beyond) to create cinematic, documentary-style video content that celebrates human impact.
We tell stories about real people making real change. The ones who give without expecting praise, who push forward through struggle, who invest in community. We make these stories accessible and relatable—not polished for perfection, but genuine, gritty, and hopeful—so viewers feel compelled to act, to join, to care.
​​
Elko is more than a video company. Each story we produce is a thread in a growing tapestry of community changemakers. We want our work to foster connection, spark action, and inspire others. Together, we believe stories of heart can move millions.
Our Story
We’re Javi and Liz, husband and wife, best friends, and co-founders of Elko Productions. Our story began in Elko, Nevada — where we were both serving as missionaries — and it was there we realized how much we shared: a deep love for people, a belief in community, and a commitment to faith, family, and service. That spark became Elko Productions, based now in Annapolis, Maryland—a video production studio built to bring stories of real change to life.
​
Our backgrounds shape everything we do. We come from families of immigrants who love America and who believe in a brighter future, and we carry that spirit into our work. Javi has spent years producing documentary-style videos for nonprofits and brands like Stand Together and Delta Airlines. He’s traveled the world telling stories that move people, because to him video isn’t about equipment—it’s about heart and connection. Liz has built her own business as a coach and leader, always stepping in where people need support. Her drive is rooted in lifting others; that same passion now fuels every Elko project.
​
As parents to two daughters, we feel both the privilege and the responsibility of building a better tomorrow. So we choose to start today: investing in the people who are shaping their communities right now.
