DEREN ABRAM (Founder & CEO)

Yes, that's actually the 70's icon himself, Deren Abram, standing next to his buddy Burt. When Deren is not posing next to wax-like figures he's usually hidden away from the public in a dimly lit edit-suite working until 3am. Most days are spent juggling time between work and family, with stress relief coming from cooking, racquetball or skiing.

Deren truly believes that "Fra-gee-lay" is an Italian word.

JOHN SAWYER (Post Production Chief)

John is the lead film & video editor and makes creative dreams a reality. He has an incredible ability to visualize and execute, and is an expert in every meaning of the word. He is a master at editing and graphics, with a fearless jack-of-all-trades approach that has landed him the reputation of being a Production-MacGyver. He is always outstanding... like in this photo where he is out standing in the rain.

HILAIRE BROSIO (Cinematographer)

Hilaire is truly amazing behind the lens. In front of lens, however, not so much. In the studio or on location, he always has great ideas that spring from his creative mind. Sometimes, literally. He has traveled all over the world to get some amazing footage but also knows how to create incredible drama in our own backyard. Hialire's name is pronounced (Huh-L-air) as in "hilarious" which he often is. Especially, when he starts to reminisce about his days on the road with the rock group "Pantera"

Hilaire is a Rock Star... at least parties like one!

MIKE T. SMITH (Assoc. Producer & Writer)

Mike does just about everything, and does it well. Trained as a writer, he has an incredible ability to create the most interesting story out of very little. He also brings a sense of levity during the most stressful times even though he's usually stressed himself. He can take on any task and can even stop a Ferry from leaving the dock in San Francisco when the crew is just moments behind.  

Mike insists that his style of writing gives him the most interesting "word-usementship" ever. He's right.

PAUL MILINAC (Assoc. Producer & Assistant)

Paul is always there to get the facts right. His ability to communicate and coordinate ensures that the entire production process runs smoothly. An incredibly private person that is incredibly informative, and looks a bit like Chuck Norris. He never complains about anything except facebook and that there are too many asses in his title. 

Paul's most common quote is "Where's that kid with my latte?"

AERIAL VIDEO UNIT (RC Helicopter Team)

Jeff, Matt and Bill prefer to be called the "A Team" instead of the aerial unit. That's completely understandable because they do A-mazing work! They get the most incredible shots (video and still) with these Remote Control crafts that can go places that a full-size helicopter can not. Staying low and steady, like an extended steady-cam shot, and then lifting to hundreds of feet above ground these heli-cams are truly state-of-the-art. The team is too!

They boldly go where no cam has gone before!
