You continue to amaze and impress everyone here with your energy and
fresh creative approach, job after job. Thank you for the great work
through all these years.
William Panza Executive Producer

UNI-LEVER
I’ve never seen a producer do SO MUCH, SO WELL, SO FAST, with so
little guidance and input from a client. Your creativity coupled with your
perseverance and dedication has produced videos exceeding- ly above the
clients’ expectations, given the time and budgets we had to produce them.
Thanks Again!
Frank Vernon Vice President West Bank Creative BANKERS TRUST
Just a note of thanks for all the creativity and technical expertise that you
brought to the Bankers Trust videos. Clearly they would not have looked
as good without your much appreciated talents. It was great to work with
you and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again in the very near
future.
