About

I show up so the
moment lives forever.

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.

From Lynchburg high school gyms to HBCU homecomings to official music video releases — this is Virginia culture on camera. EC Glass. VUL. Heritage High School. J Henry. The community is the client list.

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.

Sports · Game of the Year

Jefferson Forest vs Liberty Christian

The top two teams in the Seminole District, both undefeated, meeting to decide who stayed that way. Several sports outlets called it the Game of the Year — and the recap captures every bit of that energy.

Sports · Game Coverage

Hill City Howlers July 4th Recap

The biggest game of the year — the whole city out for the Fourth of July with fireworks to close it down. A collaboration with Seth Made It, capturing the one night Hill City circles on the calendar.

Sports · Championship Coverage

EC Glass Hilltoppers

Championship history. A packed gym. A fanbase that shows out. Season-long coverage all the way through the state championship run.

Music Video · Dir. ShotXLlew

J Henry: Pep In Yo Step (Official Music Video)

Field party energy. Live vibes. Directed the official video and bruh, it was NOT playing around.

J Henry: Hater (Official Music Video)

J Henry takes on something everybody's felt — the person who's supposed to be in your corner turning into a hater the second you start getting recognition. Shot in Appomattox County to honor his roots, capturing that heart and southern soul from top to bottom.

Music Video · Dir. ShotXLlew

Jimmy Too Swimmy: Addicted feat. Lil Swim (Official Music Video)

A concept video with a storyline that meshes seamlessly into the performance scenes. Jimmy flips the negative outlook on being a "trapper" on its head — showing that drugs aren't the only thing a person can trap.

1LitDragg: N*gga Run (Official Music Video)

Red lights. Raw energy. Cinematic direction for one of Lynchburg's rising artists.

Events · Sports · VUL

VUL Homecoming 2025

An HBCU homecoming is a whole day: the game, the culture, the alumni, the energy you can't manufacture. All of it documented.

Events · Sweet 16

Maleyah's Sweet 16

A Tangled-themed Sweet 16 for my own daughter — surrounded by family and friends pouring love on her all night. It ended with a surprise no one saw coming: her first car. The most personal shoot I've done, and I captured every bit of the emotion, start to finish.

Event Recap · Recovery Gala

UP Foundation: 11th Anniversary Recovery Gala

Eleven years of rebuilding lives, celebrated in one room. The UP Foundation — Unlimited Potential — marked its anniversary with a night honoring everyone who walked through their doors and found a way back. I captured all of it: the stories, the milestones, and the community that turns recovery into a second chance.

Events · Heritage High School

Heritage High School: College Signing Day

Years of work landing in one pen stroke. The ceremony, the families, the moment it all becomes official.

Event Recap · Car Show

Nathalie Car Show

Custom builds, community pride, and the kind of event that makes you proud of where you're from. Every detail caught on camera.

Portraits · Graduation

Kaelen Rae: Graduation

Graduation only happens once. Portraits that capture who she actually is, not just the cap and gown.
