Today we’d like to introduce you to Kaleb Mitchell.
Hi Kaleb, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’m originally from Franklin, Louisiana, and dance was my first real entry point into creativity. It taught me discipline and how to communicate emotion through movement. From there, acting became the natural next step and eventually the center of my creative life.
I went to the University of Mississippi and earned my BFA with an emphasis in acting. At the time, I was locked in on performance. One of my roommates was studying film, though, and we’d come home from class and compare notes. He’d talk about editing and coverage, I’d talk about character and intention. That’s where I first started learning editing, just through curiosity and conversation.
I didn’t really start thinking seriously about what was happening behind the camera until 2019. I became more interested in how stories were shaped beyond the performance. That curiosity turned into action during the pandemic. Like a lot of actors, my wife Tina and I needed new material for our reels, but opportunities were limited. So we bought a camera and started filming ourselves.
In 2020, that work became Mitchell Media Team. What started as a practical move turned into a crash course in producing, directing, editing, and finishing projects. As the work grew and our vision got clearer, we rebranded to BRAYVHOUSE in 2022. The shift reflected our commitment to building something more intentional and reliable.
Today, BRAYVHOUSE is a production company focused on doing good work and delivering on what we promise. I still act, and being involved on the production side makes me better on set. It keeps me grounded in the reality of the work. The path hasn’t been linear, but it’s been honest, and everything we do is built around consistency, trust, and follow through.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. The pandemic slowed everything down in a way that forced us to sit with ourselves and really learn. Suddenly, there was time. Time to figure things out, make mistakes, and build skills we probably would’ve rushed past otherwise. A lot of what I know now came from that period of trial and error.
We were learning everything at once how to shoot, edit, produce, communicate with clients, and actually finish projects. There wasn’t a clear separation between life and work, and that was tough. But it also gave us space to grow in a way that felt real and earned.
One thing I’m still learning is when to say no. Early on, it feels like you have to take everything just to survive or prove yourself. This past year especially taught me that not every project is a good fit, and that staying on brand matters. If something pulls you too far away from who you are or what you’re building, it ends up costing more than it gives.
There have definitely been moments of doubt, slow growth, and questioning whether we were moving fast enough. But those moments also helped clarify what we want BRAYVHOUSE to be. The struggles shaped our values and pushed us to be more intentional, more honest, and more disciplined in how we work.
It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been real. And every challenge has made the work stronger and more aligned with who we are.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
At my core, I’m an actor and a producer, and BRAYVHOUSE exists at the intersection of performance and structure. We focus on narrative storytelling, branded content, and short form work, but what really defines us is our style of storytelling. We’re interested in work that feels lived in, intentional, and emotionally grounded.
We approach stories from the inside out. Performance comes first, then visuals, then structure. Even in branded work, we try to find the human center of the story and build around that. That approach gives the work a sense of honesty and restraint rather than spectacle for spectacle’s sake.
What I’m most proud of is building something that allows us to create on our own terms. BRAYVHOUSE came out of a need to make our own opportunities, and over time it’s grown into a space where ideas don’t just start, they get finished. Each project has helped refine our voice and sharpen how we work.
What sets us apart is perspective. My background as an actor keeps me rooted in performance, emotion, and collaboration. Producing keeps me grounded in reality and accountability. That balance shapes our storytelling. We understand how vulnerable it is to be on camera and how intentional you have to be behind it to protect the story.
At the end of the day, I’m proud that our work feels honest and cohesive. We don’t rush it, and we don’t chase trends. We focus on clarity, presence, and follow through. That commitment to story is what defines BRAYVHOUSE and continues to guide everything we make.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
If there’s anything else I’d share, it’s that we’re in a season of building and refining. We’re continuing to grow BRAYVHOUSE with intention, staying aligned with our voice, and creating work that feels honest.
Our most recent project, The Adventures of Black People, is a good reflection of that. It’s a narrative series that blends genre, humor, and social commentary, and it represents the kind of storytelling we care about. It’s bold, personal, and rooted in collaboration, and it pushed us creatively in all the right ways.
Beyond that, I’d say that creativity and consistency matter just as much as talent. Showing up prepared, treating people well, and finishing what you start goes a long way. The relationships you build and protect are just as important as the work itself.
For anyone trying to carve out their own path, don’t wait for permission. Use what you have, learn as you go, and stay true to who you are. Growth doesn’t always feel fast or loud, but when it’s intentional, it lasts.
We’re still learning, still refining, and still building. And that feels like a good place to be.
