Each month, Shop in RI Magazine profiles one member of “The Dream Team,” a weekly networking group that meets in Smithfield. This month, we feature Michael Cabral of Frogs Videography based in Johnston, RI and Dartmouth, MA.
Michael and Co-Founder David Bacdayan have been best friends since becoming pen pals within their different elementary schools in Dartmouth. It became a partnership that melded Mike’s artistic background with David’s entrepreneurial spirit. They went into business together in April of 2024 part-time while holding other jobs. Then in October 2025, the duo decided to take the leap to a full-time commitment into their business.

As the name suggests, the pair work on creating stories through the video lens. It could be something for a company website, fundraising videos for a charity event, or something else. They also work with non-profits, recently working with the Women’s Fund of Rhode Island & PACE to name a few.
The duo has also worked on short films and music videos together.
