Trio of Recent CDM Graduates Launch Video Company

Three recent Department of Cinema and Digital Media majors from the class of 2025 have launched their own videography and video production company and have hit the ground running. David Kouyoumdjian, Jihae Dong, and Ziyun Zhang formed 175 Productions LLC (AKA. 175 Productions) in March 2025 and have already built up an impressive list of clients.

Since the launch, the young startup has worked with the Golden State Warriors, Golden State Valkyries, J.P. Morgan Chase and The Teamsters for social media content and continue to grow their client base. 

175 Productions specializes in cinematic storytelling through both video and photography, helping brands stand out with visual content that’s bold, purposeful, and on budget. From commercial shoots to event coverage and branded content, their goal is to bring clients’ visions to life in a way that connects, engages, and drives results. The firm’s focus on understanding the “why” behind every project—then combine technical precision with creative direction to deliver content that makes an impact.
