About Us

Hundredfold Video (formerly Thing in a Pot Productions) provides promotional videography for Catholic small businesses, nonprofits, churches, and schools in Minnesota, including Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Cloud, and the surrounding areas. We are committed to helping large and small groups alike share their positive impact through professional video.

We have created hundreds of videos, conducted thousands of interviews and garnered millions of views. Our knowledge of video production allows us to systematically walk new clients through the process, communicate clearly, quote accurately, and detect problems before they arise. 

Our Team

  • Katie Rutter

    Owner, COO

    Katie makes sure everything gets done… and gets done well. She works directly with clients to brainstorm their video needs, then coordinates the team to make it happen. She's conducted over 1,000 interviews, created nearly that many videos, has been declared “Video Producer of the Year” and has received and Chicago/Midwest Emmy nomination.

  • Brian Rutter

    Owner, Visual Coordinator

    Brian is responsible for all things visual, and all visual Things. He’s the designer behind the logo and created what you now recognize as the Thing in a Pot aesthetic. He’s also a dedicated scientist writing our Things About Things blog post - with fun facts about plants - and helping out with any research needed for projects. Search his name in Google Scholar and you’ll find his expert articles on plant research.

  • John Bird

    Associate Producer

    John is the right-hand-man on every project… which means he needs a lot of hands. He helps with planning and pre-production, then, at shoots he’s lending a hand with any tools that need that extra coordination. After shoots, he’s editing his own projects, researching new tools, and gathering resources and cuts for the team editor. He is also responsible for our behind-the-scenes series.

“A sower went out to sow… Some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred of sixty or thirtyfold…
The seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.”

– Matthew 13:1, 8, 23
