A COMPLETE FILM AND TVC DIRECTOR
More than 32 years of experience as a film director and videographer who owned 2 commercial production companies in Perth, Australia and in Indonesia is more or less like having a whole video production agency inside one person’s head. To my clients this means: the best video production services at really competitive rates.
FULL SERVICE VIDEO PRODUCTION
Whether your are an advertising / production company professional, a business owner or marketing professional, we can work together in some or all stages of video production to deliver an exceptional end product. My know-how is applied to TV commercials, online advertising, corporate videos and more.
