I love what we do. We're passionate about crafting visual stories because the work we do connects our subjects with the larger world. We identify the essence of what people do and distill it into a moving story that touches our audience.
With image-making skills acquired over the better part of my life, my videography informs my editing just as my editing informs my shooting. It’s a process of hard work, an open ear, and a keen eye. I try to do this with elegance, efficiency, fun, and a lot of tenacity.
You'll probably enjoy working with me because I will listen to you and work to achieve a result that surpasses your goals. I like to collaborate because two heads are better than one and I've found that producers and directors appreciate that conversation. But for those who need a one-man-band, you'll find me completely comfortable working on my own, and producing stories that are affordable but sing. I stay focused on what we are trying to communicate in our production and find creative images to craft an engaging story that will both excite and inspire our audience. And virtually all the work you see on this website I edited myself. I love it!
"Collaborating with Greg is powerful and has always led to creative results."
