About Rod Lopez
Director, Producer, and Video Marketing Strategist | Founder, New Style Independent Pictures
I’m a Director, Producer, and Video Marketing Strategist with over 20 years of experience helping brands turn content into measurable growth. As the founder of New Style Independent Pictures, I lead a full-service content studio that partners with businesses, entrepreneurs, and organizations to create high-performing video content designed to attract attention, generate leads, and drive sales.
Over the past several years, I’ve traveled extensively across the United States working as a Director of Photography on nationally syndicated television series, including Designing Spaces (Lifetime), The Balancing Act (Lifetime), Inside the Blueprint (FOX Business), Military Makeover with Montel Williams (Lifetime), and Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew (Lifetime). That nationwide broadcast experience sharpened my ability to produce polished, on-brand content at scale while meeting tight timelines, diverse audiences, and national broadcast standards.
I’ve collaborated with clients including Samsung, the Department of Homeland Security, Johns Hopkins University, the Baltimore Orioles, TSA, and The United Negro College Fund, and produced award-winning work across film, music videos, branded campaigns, and commercials. My work has earned recognition from the National Telly Awards, and I’m a member of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS).
A former professional baseball player turned filmmaker, my career spans feature films, TV shows, music videos, and marketing campaigns — combining storytelling with a deep understanding of audience engagement. My approach covers concept development, scripting, production, editing, and cross-platform distribution, so every project delivers measurable results.
My work has been featured in The Baltimore Sun, ABC2 News, NBC WBAL, CBS Baltimore, Fox45 Baltimore, CineMaryland, True Magazine, and El Hispanic News, and I was recently featured in the award-winning documentary Indie Film Artists: The DMV Truth.
Based on the East Coast, I continue to help businesses and creators tell their stories with clarity, creativity, and impact.
