Reed and Jihan were excellent to work with for our project for HuffPost video. We contracted their services on a very tight timeline for our reporting in Cuba, and they were able to participate deeply in pre-production, deliver on the ground, and send back some excellent footage. We couldn't have gotten this project done without them.

Reed went above and beyond in pre planning, arranged multiple phone calls to make sure he was delivering exactly what we wanted. In addition, the footage was great, and he also arranged to have beautiful astrophotography included in the piece.
