Cody Dedon

Co-Owner, Director, Writer, & Actor

Many words described Cody as a child, but quiet was NEVER one of them, so it was only natural that when introduced to the world of public speaking, Cody thrived! After winning multiple national public speaking titles, he moved on to executive communication coaching and uses his skills to develop powerful content for his clients.

With 15 years of experience in film and communication, Cody is the man for this job. His films are compelling, artistic, and highly technical making Flashbang Productions the perfect outlet for his very particular set of skills.

So when this guy creates a video, it’s not just a gimmicky compilation of fiery explosions, hot models, and those sexy teals with oranges...it's a pre-meditated, purposeful act of cinematic genius!
