Testimonials
"Thanks for all your help along the way!!! (I) felt the production was very safe and secure in your capable hands. For that I am grateful. As are everyone in London and at Netflix!!!!"
- Tony Mitchell, Series Producer of "Alexander - the Making of God" for Netflix
"Shooting in a country for the first time can be an anxiety-ridden experience. but problems in Colombia were solved before they even had a chance to rise. The thoroughness of preparation, the consummate professionalism, the complete master of the on-location filmmaking process, the ability to successfully engage with the authorities allowed us to capture more content, more b-roll, more spectacular drone footage than any of us can remember on any shoot anywhere else in the world. Also, it's not often that I meet people in this industry who are worthy of long-term friendship and professional collaborations, but you showed me a lot on this shoot Malta. Your heart and your head are in the right place. There aren't enough of you around."
