Meet VickMont: St. Louis-Based Videographer,

Storyteller, And Creative Forces

From a young age, Vick felt the pull of storytelling through a lens. Growing up in St. Louis, he was

inspired by behind-the-scenes footage on MTV of iconic music videos by artists like Dru Hill and

Jagged Edge. Encouraged by his mom, who always had a camera around the house, Vick began

experimenting with capturing moments that tell a story. What started as a childhood fascination

grew into a lifelong passion and the foundation of a promising career.

​

Although he briefly attended college, Vick ultimately chose a different path built on resilience,

creativity, and self-direction. Dropping out, he immersed himself in a self-taught journey, learning

the craft through experience and countless YouTube tutorials. His first videos were homemade

music videos, with his mom even stepping in as his first camera operator. This DIY approach

quickly led to paid projects, and his dedication only grew from there.

​

Vick's breakthrough came in 2016 when he left St. Louis for Atlanta, a move that opened doors to

working with major artists. That year, he filmed Migos’ video for F Up the Pot, which premiered on

WorldStarHipHop and significantly boosted his visibility. Over the years, he has worked with

prominent names like Boosie, Domani, DC Youngfly, Blac Youngsta and more. One of Vick’s most

memorable experiences came when he traveled to Dubai with Yo Gotti—it was a wonderful

experience that gave him a unique perspective on life at the top and left a lasting impression.

 

Today, Vick’s catalog includes over 4,000 music videos.

​

Originally launching his brand as Eagle Films, Vick rebranded to Vickmontfilms to align more

closely with his personal style and to reflect the direct connection he builds with clients.

“Everyone called me by my first name anyway, so I just went with it,

” he says. Now at 33, Vick’s

approach has evolved from the "drill" style of music videos toward storytelling that explores real

relationships, celebrates community, and captures life's shared challenges and triumphs.

 

Vick’s career has reached several milestones. In 2018, he was recognized on Deluxe magazine’s “30

Under 30” list for his influence in the creative industry. The following year, he earned his YouTube

100,000-subscriber plaque – a testament to his consistency, creativity, and commitment to

connecting with his audience.

​

Currently, Vick is most passionate about launching his content course, which focuses on teaching

his unique editing techniques. Designed for aspiring videographers and editors, the course reveals

the methods and stylistic choices that set his work apart, providing practical, step-by-step

instruction for achieving his signature look. Alongside this, he’s focused on building a dedicated

team, aiming to expand his reach and support his vision in even greater ways.

​

Driven by his faith, Vick sees every project as a chance to create a lasting impact. Known for his

respect, responsibility, and creativity, he has recently expanded his repertoire to include short

films and podcasts, using these formats to tell stories that resonate deeply and encourage viewers.

 

His faith plays a central role in his journey; he credits God with guiding his path and motivating

him to persevere, even when he faced challenges like sleeping on a couch for six years and

working tirelessly to provide stability for his family.

 

Looking ahead, Vick aims to grow his audience to one million YouTube subscribers and release a

personal film on platforms like Amazon Prime or Netflix. Although he already has projects on

Prime and Tubi, he dreams of creating a feature film that’s entirely his – a project where he can

tell his story in his own voice.

​

In an industry where content creation is becoming increasingly competitive, Vick remains focused

on maintaining a distinctive style. His advice to upcoming videographers: “The world is full of

clients, so there’s no need for competition when you’re creating your own path. Stay prayed up

and ask God to align your plans with His.”

​

Deeply connected to his hometown, Vick remains committed to leaving a lasting legacy in St. Louis

while expanding his reach. If given the chance, he’d love to return to Africa – a place he fell in love

with after a visit to South Africa years ago – to capture the vibrant culture, people, and wildlife.

With over 10 years in the industry, a remarkable body of work, and a mission driven by faith and

resilience, Vickmont Collins is well on his way to leaving an indelible mark in the world of

videography.
