Meet the Founder

Ferre Poel

Founder/Owner - Creative Director

Hi there! I’m Ferre, 19 years old, musiclover, currently studying Media and Entertainment Business, and a big theme park fan from as long as I can remember.

I’ve been fascinated by the technical systems, storytelling, and emotions behind every attraction, experience, and/or event. I always get a surtain big sense of magic on those moments.
But then the spark came: Why can’t I take the European themepark world to a cinematic/emotional level and let everyone feel that same spark of magic through their screens?

What started as a passion for theme parks and events slowly grew into a creative drive to capture all the magic moments through next-level videography, photography, editing, sounddesign and colorgrading. Projects that turn any moment into an experience you’ll want to relive. Like you’re right there, feeling the excitement and emotions, again and again.

Before the lights turn on and the cameras start rolling, it helps to know the person behind them.

These answers give you a closer look at my passion, mindset and way of working.

Long before FPMedia became a brand, it was just a kid in a theme park, amazed by worlds built on imagination.

What we create today is built on years of wondering, learning, experimenting, and chasing that same spark.

Here’s how that journey began. ↓

FPRides began as a passion project, a place where I could capture the atmosphere of theme parks from a cinematic perspective. And not only that, I’ve had the chance to make musicmixes, POVs, and vlogs.
A place where I could show people the beautiful world of theme parks.

In a way, it was a return to the feeling I had as a kid, the first time being in touch with the world of imagination. Eyes already wide open at every sound, light, and story.

What started with a GoPro Hero 10 in 2023 quickly grew into something big. FPRides became a creative outlet with almost half a million views, over 1K subscribers, and a strong presence on Instagram and TikTok.
More importantly, it became the place where I developed my own style and skill, a way of filming and editing that focuses on emotion and action that brings you to the edge of your seat.

From that growth, FPMedia was born: a small but ambitious media initiative built on the same passion, but ready to take things to a more professional level. Since then, I’ve filmed events, worked on bringing theme park areas and attractions to your big screen on a cinematic level, and just getting started on every aspect.

FPMedia is still in its early stages, but the vision is clear: creating dynamic, immersive, and cinematic work for anyone who wants their story told with heart, atmosphere, and intention.

How it started

I’m always open to new stories, especially the ones we can bring to life together.

Let’s chase that spark of magic…

Thank you for being part of my journey, and for helping turn a lifelong passion into something more than just a dream.
