Meet Us

We’re Wayne and Holly Paige and we are both the owners and the husband-and-wife storytelling team at Wave One Films.

Our story starts in a TV newsroom in Salt Lake City in 1990, when Holly, a reporter, met Wayne, a photographer, when they are sent out to cover a news story. As assignments go, this one wasn’t memorable, except for the fact that we had a great time, and we looked forward to working together again.

So one assignment led to another. And another. We discovered that we not only liked working together, we also liked each other. A lot. Our idea of a fun date was to ride around in Wayne’s news van looking for interesting people to tell stories about. Weird but true.

It was during one of those long car rides that we talked about what it would be like to actually have a business where we could tell stories about interesting people doing great things to make their communities better places to live, work, and play.

It took us a marriage (in 1991), a move to Portland (also in 1991), and the launch of a video editing and animation business before we decided that, yes, there was a need in our community for the kinds of stories we wanted to tell. We launched Wave One Films in 2001, and one thing is true today as when we started: telling compelling stories about good people doing great things never gets old.
