About

“I have know Brent for a year or so now, and when I decided to do some advertising on cable, I knew he was the one to call to get the commercial produced. You may think this is just standing in front of a camera, but when Brent is involved, you get an entire production crew and all the bells and whistles you can imagine. He went beyond just putting together a video. Brent had original music composed for this project, as well and eye popping graphics to add to it. He is the most creative person I know in this arena and should you need video services, you MUST call him. I could go on all day with glowing terms to tell you how professional and imaginative he is, but you will have to experience it for yourself. Call him NOW!!!!” October 28, 2009

Gail Dunn
hired Brent as a Video Production in 2009 , and hired Brent more than once

“We needed to tell a story. We needed to train. We needed to educate. And we needed to do it in a visually memorable, interesting way. We work with 2,504 senior living communities, with roughly 7,500 employees needing to know about our company, Elderlife Financial Services and its Line of Credit for Senior Living. And I could not do the story telling one community at a time. Brent came through for us. He wrote, casted, directed, put the actors through rehearsals, filmed, edited, and produced one of the best training videos I have ever seen. We can’t make them fast enough to send them out to our network. Learning by painting a picture and telling a story is how people learn these days. And Brent’s talent in filmmaking is a gift. We are headquartered in Washington DC but we use Brent out of Atlanta because he is a great value, puts his heart into what he does, and his team is professional. His creativeness, his discipline in rehearsing his cast, is quite evident in the final product. Brent is truly a talented story teller whom I would highly recommend you engage, if you have a story to tell. Elias P.

“I’ve known Brent for almost 2 years now. He was brought in to shoot short video clips of each member of a group I belonged to as well as an overview 2-3 summary. He did a great job coaching each member to express what they did and why they were special. Since then, Brent has shot several more videos for members and even acted as a persona that the group created, Biff Manly. I have also taken his 10 Commandments of Improv course, which I thoroughly enjoyed. He is able to coax people out of their comfort zone, while still creating a fun, relaxed environment. I have also sat in on his Improvastorm sessions, which helps businesses develop marketing concepts in a new, abstract way. It’s pretty cool to see. All in all, I would highly recommend Brent’s services as he is certainly creative and works hard to tell your story in a visually compelling way.” August 24, 2009
