I’m Elisa Trentham, the founder of Sherwood Media
10 years ago, I turned down a job offer at the largest production company in the southeast to pursue an idea that I had never seen done before - legacy storytelling.
Since then, I’ve coached hundreds of people on camera, guiding them through telling their stories with laughter and tears. And when the filming is finished, we always hear, “that wasn’t so bad!” or “you asked such great questions!” and my favorite, “thank you for holding space for my story.”
My guiding principles for legacy storytelling are Honor, Truth, and Love. I uphold these principles by listening with compassion, asking questions that draw out the most amazing details, and leveraging more than a decade of video production experience to capture each person authentically.

“The experience was incredible”
Elisa & her team worked with my company, Camel Expeditionary, earlier this year. The experience was incredible. She takes her time to really understand what you are looking for. Her team is very professional & worked hard to connect with our team. We are very pleased with what they produced for us. I would highly recommend Sherwood to anyone. We are already working with them again on more projects.

“Anyone can press record on a camera; but not everyone can tell a story.”
Elisa is a true professional and a wonderful storyteller. She takes the time to learn your brand’s story and then she crafts a message through a mix of visual and audio elements that are not just stunning but also moving. Anyone can press record on a camera; but not everyone can tell a story. If what you want is impactful video marketing, Elisa of Sherwood Media is who you need to talk to. Your branding message is too important to be satisfied with anything less than the best. We absolutely loved working with her!

“She brought my vision to life”
I used Sherwood Media to record an online course, and Elisa and her team exceeded my expectations in every way possible!! Elisa is organized, responsive, professional and absolutely brilliant in video production. She brought my vision to life and the end product was 100 times more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!! It was an absolute joy working with Elisa and her team. She took care of all the details and went above and beyond on production day and during the editing process to make the end product perfect. I truly can’t recommend Sherwood Media enough and I will certainly choose to use them again for future courses!
