About Hope
If there’s one thing Hope Daley knows, it’s how to turn ideas into incredible, award-winning film and cinematography content—and how to keep a production running smoother than a well-caffeinated film crew. As Co-Founder and Executive Producer of Epic Filmworks, Hope has spent over 25 years bringing stories to life for television, documentaries, and brand films that inspire, inform, and move audiences to action. She finds her greatest purpose in serving others—whether that’s uplifting community voices, championing education, or preserving cultural heritage through film.
Her work has touched countless lives, from producing Mental Health Moment—a two-year episodic series for Collier County Public Schools—to creating a countywide virtual graduation during COVID-19. She developed 27 episodes of Giver TV and 25 additional animations for Charity for Change, teaching positive character traits to K–5 students through a unique mix of live action and animation. For 12 years, she produced the documentary-style Golden Apple teacher celebration show with NBC2 for Champions for Learning, honoring educators who transform lives.
Hope’s client list includes industry leaders like Alliant Insurance Services, Movora, and Hasbro Toys, alongside cause-driven organizations. Her documentary Selma’s Garden won six awards across five film festivals, including the Emerald Coast Film Festival, Creators Film Festival, American Golden Picture International Film Festival, Cocoa Beach Touchstone Independent Film Festival, and two awards at the Jacksonville Florida Film Festival.
Let's Celebrate Hope Daley!
With 11 Telly Awards, more than 1,500 completed projects, and a portfolio that spans NBC, ABC, and national brands, Hope blends cinematic excellence with strategic storytelling to create content that doesn’t just look beautiful—it makes an impact. She is being honored in the 2026 Distinguished Artists program hosted by the International Network of Creatives for her outstanding contributions to the arts, her unwavering dedication to serving others, and her passion for using visual media to inspire change.
