Crafting Stories That
Reach Deeper
ReAwaken Media partners with organizations to craft professional-grade video and social media content that reawakens communities from the inside. We combine modern communication strategies with a deep understanding of people, purpose, and community to help you engage your audience, drive in-person involvement, and amplify your mission. Whether it’s inspiring volunteers, building trust, or sharing the “why” behind your work, we create media that moves hearts and souls.
What Grounds Our Work
ReAwaken Media is rooted in the Catholic faith and in a deep trust in Jesus Christ. That trust shapes how we approach every project: listening carefully, working honestly, and treating each person and story with dignity and care.
We do not always know where a story will lead. Our responsibility is to remain attentive, do the work faithfully, and leave the outcome to God.
Crafting Soul-Touching Stories for Catholic Communities
The Story Behind ReAwaken
ReAwaken Media grew out of an unlikely combination of filmmaking, strategy, and mathematics. By 2019, Jonathan Vikesland had spent more than 20 years creating media for nonprofits, businesses, and churches, including three years immersed in Catholic media. He had also spent nine years teaching math and statistics, an experience that sharpened his ability to make complicated ideas clear without flattening them.
During those years, Jonathan repeatedly encountered organizations doing work that mattered but struggling to explain why it mattered. The problem was not a lack of substance. It was a lack of time, strategy, and creative resources to uncover the story and tell it well. ReAwaken was founded to help close that gap.
What began primarily within Catholic media has continued to expand. Today, ReAwaken partners with organizations, institutions, communities, and families to create films and content rooted in real people and built to be understood, remembered, and revisited.
Brennan Crow is a part-time filmmaker, part-time student. A senior at St. John Vianney College seminary, he has a deep passion for evangelization and cinematography.
Closing his bachelor's degrees in Philosophy and Catholic Studies, he has worked with Jonathan on several projects over the years while balancing amature filmmaking and a busy seminary schedule. Brennan has worked for a variety of clients in various filmmaking fields, and has learned to create professional work with larger teams as well as solo.
Strengthened by a life devoted to Christ, Brennan seizes every opportunity to build meaningful relationships and craft powerful videos.
