Double-Production: Happy 4th of July

It’s no coincidence I was working with Gold Star children on the 28th of June – I believe it was fate.

These are the three most important things we have learned working for defense contractors in 2023.

If I could give three tips to help other video production companies as they service and assist defense contractors it would be this: A. Carry a notepad or hire someone to carry a notepad and make sure not a note is missed nor a question unanswered – preparation is key. B. Learn to keep your…
