I am a writer, producer and director with over 20 years of experience. I founded Rising Night Productions to streamline the video production process for busy communications professionals. I bring my extensive network of video experts and skills in production, project management and digital marketing to every project. My mission is to make video projects easier for organizations of all sizes. I describe my niche as “informational.” I love working on things like testimonials that might help customers make informed decisions or videos that help explain how a product, service or process works. I also enjoy producing video content that helps make complex or hard-to-understand subjects more accessible and memorable. I work with a wide variety of organizations like non-profits, associations and government agencies in addition to for-profit companies.
