ABOUT ME &
MY WORK

Cory Rokes

That Media Guy

Hailing from Michigan in the United States, Cory's initial back ground is in business management and marketing from Michigan Technological University. In 2015 while living in Washington D.C. he joined the ska-punk band, Thirteen Towers, as the trumpet player. During this time he created and directed video content for the band and it was there he found his passion for film making.
 
Deciding to follow his passion, Cory earned a scholarship from filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma) towards attendance to the Vancouver Film School. While in school, he produced a host of short films and projects, gaining even more passion. He hopes to start a career of working for himself doing photography, film making/videography, and other creative endeavors.

Currently, Cory is based out of West Bend, WI (just NW of Milwaukee) with his wife, Hannah. He strives everyday to challenge himself to develop (pun intended) his abilities and learn more styles of capturing media. In his spare time, Cory continues to play trumpet, make short-films, playing hockey, and spend time with Hannah and his golden-doodle puppy; Lindy.
