We’re in the business of making people care about yours.
Emily Hogan | Founder, Videographer and Editor
I got my start making backyard home movies as a kid, and that turned into a lifelong obsession with telling stories.
I'm a graduate of Emerson College, and over my professional career I’ve worked on projects for organizations like Boston College, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Boston Medical Center, and the National Academy of Sciences. I've also edited several documentaries that have been accepted to film festivals across the country, including the Independent Film Festival Boston (the largest film festival in New England.)
Today I run Merrimack Media, a documentary-style video production company based in Dracut, MA serving clients across Greater Lowell, the North Shore and New England. Whether you need a brand story, a promotional video, event coverage, or something in between, I bring the same documentary eye and care to every project.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We start with a conversation to figure out what you need. We handle the planning so by the time we film, everything's already in place and the day runs smoothly. Finally, we edit everything into a video that's ready for however you plan to use it.
-
That's normal, and it's what our first conversation is for. Most clients come to us with a general goal, not a finished script. We'll help shape it from there.
-
Most projects run a few weeks to a few months from our first conversation to final delivery. Each project is different and it varies with scope and your availability for filming. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
-
It depends on the scope. A short social media piece and a full brand story require very different amounts of time and production. We'll give you a clear quote after we talk through what you need, so there are no surprises.
-
Yes. We regularly work across Greater Lowell, the North Shore, New Hampshire, and New England as a whole. Reach out and we'll figure out logistics.
-
Yes. I produce, shoot, and edit every project myself, and bring in trusted contractors for larger productions when needed.
-
Merrimack Media is a small, woman-owned business, and I'm personally involved in every project from our first conversation through final delivery. I don't hand your video off to someone else to shoot or edit; the person you talk to is the person behind the camera and in the editing chair. I also keep the process relaxed and genuinely fun! You shouldn't have to stress about being on camera or worry about how the day will go. That means consistent quality and someone who's actually invested in how your story turns out.
