Film Director based in Virginia · @shotxllew
I'm Deon Llewellyn, the filmmaker behind ShotXLlew. Sports. Music. Events. Portraits. Every project gets the same thing: a camera in my hand and everything I've got.
I've covered state championship runs, directed official music video drops, documented college signing days, HBCU homecomings, and car shows that shut down the block. If the moment matters to you, it matters to me.
This isn't content creation. It's documentary work. It's making sure the people who grind hardest have something real to show for it.

EC Glass didn't need highlights. They needed their story told. A championship-caliber program, a gym that gets loud, and a fanbase that doesn't just show up. They show out. The Hilltoppers are setting the standard and it needed to look like it.
Full season coverage from opening night through the state championship run. Court-side positioning, real crowd energy, and the detail shots that make a recap feel like a documentary: the Wilson ball, the championship banners, the Ram outside the gym. Every edit is paced around the pressure of the game, not just the highlights.
Players shared it. Parents saved it. Coaches sent it to recruits. The community felt seen. Everything runs through the Ave and now it's all on record.
Book sports coverage →Homecoming at VUL is not just a football game. It's a whole day: the culture, the alumni coming back, the energy that only an HBCU homecoming carries. The game is part of the story. Not the whole story.
Coverage ran across both worlds: competition on the field and celebration off it. The edit moves between the two intentionally. Nothing gets rushed past, nothing gets left out. If you were there, you feel it when you watch it back. If you weren't, you wish you had been.
A complete document of the day. The kind of recap that builds tradition, something the program can point to year after year.
Book event coverage →J Henry had one of the feel-good records of the year and needed a visual worthy of it. Field party. Live energy. Special guests. The video had to pull people in like they were already there.
Shot it like a live event, not a set. Natural light, real reactions, line dancing that nobody choreographed for the camera. It just happened and we caught it. The edit lands on the beat. The grade keeps the warmth of the afternoon without washing it out. The "Dir. by ShotXLlew" credit sits in the frame because it was earned.
Official video dropped on YouTube. The community showed up immediately. When the visual actually matches how the record feels, people remember exactly where they were the first time they watched it.
Book a music video →Graduation happens once. Kaelen needed portraits that captured who she actually is, not just someone standing in a cap and gown. The energy, the pride, and everything she put in to get to that moment all had to be in the frame.
The best portrait work happens when someone forgets the camera is there. That takes time, movement, and finding light that flatters the person in front of you, not rushing through a shot list. The full gallery is delivered on Pixieset: high resolution, downloadable, easy to share, and built to last.
A gallery the family actually uses. Portraits worth printing, not just posting.
