Meet the Founders

Founded by two storytellers at heart, Gritty Vibes Studio's story begins in Queens, New York. After years of successful collaborations, longtime friends Derrick Saint Pierre and Tyrel Hunt decided to join forces officially -- each bringing their own skillset and body of work to the company.

Derrick Saint Pierre's lengthy resume includes collaborations with high-profile companies -- he's worked behind the camera with brands like Foot Locker, Esquire, Reebok, Puma, Men's Health and much more.

Tyrel Hunt has made a name as a marketer and multi-award-winning filmmaker. He's written, edited, and directed two acclaimed feature films -- his most recent film "The Sound of Southside" was made in collaboration with Derrick Saint Pierre.

Together, Tyrel Hunt and Derrick Saint Pierre's skillset covers the full spectrum of film-making responsibilities. The duo approaches each project with care, professionalism, and a rare chemistry that makes their work one of a kind.

We’ve Worked With

Client Spotlight: New York Philharmonic

Gritty Vibes Studios regularly works with the renowned New York Philharmonic, documenting their shows, events, and initiatives. In this video, we captured a youth workshop, interviewing parents, teaching artists, and more. The result was a quality piece of content that encapsulated the excitement and creativity of the day.

Client Spotlight: Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning

Gritty Vibes Studios collaborated with Queens-based nonprofit Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning on retainer for a calendar year. As a part of the collab, we produced monthly videos and still photography for a wide range of JCAL’s events and initiatives. The result was a boom in JCAL’s attendance and online platforms.

Watch Our Award Winning Narrative Film:

The Sound of Southside

In an effort to showcase our talent as a production company, we created an original feature film “The Sound of Southside”. Gritty Vibes Studios handled each stage of the process from funding the film to writing, editing, shooting, directing, producing, and marketing the project. The Sound of Southside was both a critical and financial success, winning over a dozen awards throughout the country.
