Joel worked with us to interview one of our riders at Spedal and create an impact focussed video. It was such a pleasure working with him and I highly recommend him as a videographer. He really made us comfortable during filming and was very considerate of our needs.

Joel created a lovely, sensitive documentary film of our R&D process for a theatre show. He was friendly and professional on set, working efficiently and responsively on post-production. He managed to capture the essence of our project perfectly. A delight!
