Saverio
Caponi

In a world full of creators, be an artist. The work that lasts is never just content — it's made with intention, craft, and something true at the center.

My background spans documentary production, broadcast, brand content, and large-scale media operations. I've built production systems from scratch, led creative teams under pressure, and spent nearly a decade running the full media function for a major church — which, in practice, meant weekly broadcast-quality output, zero margin for error, and a rotating cast of volunteers I had to turn into a cohesive crew. Creating conditions where art is made.

Currently at Entersquare, leading video production across brand, commercial, and social — from concept through delivery. BFA in Film/Video/New Media from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Media Director 2017 — 2025
City Church Chicago · Chicago, IL

Set and held the creative vision for all church media over nearly eight years — building a production culture that could operate at weekly broadcast pace without sacrificing quality or mission.

  • Planned, directed, filmed, and produced weekly video content end-to-end — concept through delivery, every week, for nearly a decade
  • Owned the full pre-production process: concepting, scripting, scheduling, and budgeting across recurring and one-off productions
  • Captured and produced story-driven documentary content showcasing life change within the congregation — the most mission-critical work on the slate
  • Collaborated directly with church leadership on creative planning for worship services and major events, shaping the overall tone and direction of each production
  • Built and led a volunteer media team from the ground up — recruiting, training, and developing people with little to no prior production experience into a reliable, high-functioning crew
