Meet KeeWii Films
Owner: LaKeisha Wilson
What inspired you to pursue a serious commitment at your business/art?
I am a very nostalgic individual and every since I was a little girl I’ve always loved the idea of capturing things on film. Fast forward to present day, I am passionate about capturing and telling people’s stories. I believe everyone has a story to tell and there are people who need to hear and see those stories both in the present and especially in the future. Nothing captures full emotion like video. I am all about capturing the full story, the entire moment and all the emotions.
In short, I Cultivate, Collect and Preserve Memories Through Film.
How many years have you been in business/in your industry?
12
How do you wish to serve others through your business/art?
I absolutely love capturing special moments. I've been at events that were great but there wasn't anyone capturing it. In those situations I am concerned that five, fifteen or fifty years ahead, how will people know about the awesome things that took place.
I think about my own situation where I am fairly young but none of my grandparents are alive. I wish I could have set down with them and recorded documentaries where they talked about their childhoods, their grand and great grandparents of whom I know nothing about. Capturing stories is a huge part of who I am. It really is my passion. I believe my passion can fill a need. It is my pleasure to serve my community.

What has been the most valuable lesson you've learned since pursuing your goals?
I am always reminded that it's a good thing to love what I'm doing. It is because of that fact that I am not discouraged when others seemingly overlook me. I've learned to just be great even if the masses don't appreciate it.
What advice would you give to someone who is starting out, just as you were?
Do the work and just be. Don't ever get caught up in giving energy to thoughts of lack of support. Be great and appreciate the people who do support you. If you go through seasons where you aren't getting booked, use that time to improve your craft further. Also, be confident in your skills and worth and don't allow anyone to convince you otherwise. Lastly, make customer service an absolute top priority.
