Bio
Hans Christianson, M.L.A.
John is wonderful to work with on video projects. He is always accomodating to interviewees and is a wizard when it comes to the editing process. I've learned immensely about video production by just being around him during our video shoots. He's the first person I would recommend for a video shoot, hands down.
Marc Bazerman
I had the good fortune to sound design and mix a few of John’s projects, including a feature film and commercial projects. John is one of the best Directors I have worked with, his knowledge of film and video is second to none and he is one of the most creative and fun people to be around.
