ABOUT US

Thunder Media Productions is owned by Josh Kadrmas. Josh has over 25 years of experience in the media industry, producing stunning photos, capturing live sporting events, creating slideshows for life's largest moments, and digitizing vintage videos.

Josh freelances as a photographer and videographer. A life-long North Dakota resident, Josh and his family call Bismarck home.

OUR MISSION

Preserve YOUR most important memories without the stress and hassle of mailing your items.  I created Thunder Media Productions after transferring hundreds of classic family videos - from VHS to MiniDV tapes.  I didn't want to risk sending my videos to a company hundreds of miles away, not knowing if my videos would get lost in transit.

We also specialize in creating memorable slideshows for all of life's big events!
