Interview 2: Stevo O'Rourke - Ocular

An interview with Stevo O'Rourke. Stevo will tell you that he’s no entrepreneur. But Stevo’s the director of Ocular. A company that he started 14 years ago, now boasting a staff of 15, including Boris, Ocular’s Embassadog.

Their website says “We don't work for clients, we work with partners.”

Ocular is the guide, helping partners discover or refine their particular voice, story or brand. Effectively connecting those partners to their customers using video, web and print.

“We’re not smart, not fancy, not cool. We’re honest”

It all started when Stevo asked his flatmate Paul, “How do we make a video?” Paul answered “We need a camera and a computer” So they bought them. This launched Ocular into film making and their first project, a video about Wellington. It didn’t make them rich, but it ended up being great way to meet people from the city and hone their craft.
