Owner of Freedom Optical Media
My name is Darian Gorman! I was born in Eugene, OR but have lived in Springfield, OR my entire life! I've been a fan of physical media from a young age. I got my first DVD when I was 4 and started seriously collecting when I was 11. I'm now 19 and have amassed a large collection of movies, music and television. The reason I love physical media is for the preservation of art. Art is so important in sparking conversations about the human condition. Life is best lived when we connect on a deep level with one another. An important aspect of that is making this art accessible. With the reliability issues of the internet, streaming services taking down or censoring content, amongst other things, physical, optical-based media is currently the best solution for quality and preservation.
I've tried my hand at filmmaking, music production and many other art forms. I would love to make films, sitcoms and albums as I continue to grow my skills, but I've got to take it one day at a time. For now, I'd like to focus on building up a business to support myself and one day, a family. The more this business grows, the more time and resources I will have to achieve my goals and dreams. So, while I'm helping you, you're helping me, an individual with the American spirit of Freedom and Liberty.
If you're interested, you can catch me on my YouTube channel where I talk about everything physical media!
What this business is:
What this business is:
As the passion for collecting things physically has grown, I've gained an interest in producing physical media. Whether it be an album on a CD, a slideshow on a DVD or something with the Blu-Ray disc format. I have experience making custom CDs, DVDs and BD-Rs. Quality is my highest priority. I like for things to not just be functional but also to look appealing and professional. I hope to be of service to you in any of your physical media production, duplication or printing needs!
By supporting me, you are supporting an individual over a large corporation. I'm all about individual liberty and working with people to make their dreams come true. As a hobbyist myself, I understand the wants, but there are certainly expensive barriers to entry on this front. I'm here to help alleviate those problems, at an affordable cost to you, the customer. I'm here to serve you. I'm trying to pave a path for myself, a path that gets me away from the 9-5 "grind", so I can put my all into having and raising a family one day. It's hard to do that when you're away at work 40 - 60+ hours a week!
Currently, my equipment consists of a few key tools that help me create at a reasonable pace and at high standards of quality:
4K Disc Reader and Burner (for master discs)

5-disc BD Duplicator (it duplicates everything from CD to Blu-Ray Discs, 1 master disc goes in and up to 5 copies are made at a time)
[insert image]
and arguably just as important, a Rimage-made Stand-Alone Everest Encore printer
[insert images] one of the printer and one of a printed disc
With these tools and some digital software on a powerful, self-built PC, I can author discs of all kinds, duplicate them quickly for large orders and I can print directly on the discs. Every disc printed with the Everest Encore will be at 600 DPI (dots per inch) and will be completely UV, scratch and water resistant.
This equipment isn't cheap and that's why it's generally not feasible for most hobbyists to acquire all of it. But now, you can get access to these services for an agreeable price.
I can be reached on my 'Contact' page or if it's easier for you, just send me an email @ freedomopticalmedia@gmail.com (it goes to the same place either way)!
