Bio
David Decker
I had the opportunity to work with Curtis Smith and Smith Cinematic early this fall on a timely fundraising video. I had opted to try to find a videographer to cover an interview we needed in northern California, and was so glad I found Curtis. We arranged to conduct the interview over FaceTime while Curtis shot the interview, as well as b-roll with our interviewee. The footage Curtis provided was top notch, beautifully shot, and the b-roll he captured gave us many great options for editing. Curtis was a professional on the business service side as well, making all of his arrangements, requesting possible clearances, and delivering the footage same day. It is a joy to work like this, and I would highly recommend Curtis Smith and Smith Cinematic for any production needs you may have. I would advise to call him early too, as he will probably be very busy with the service he provides!

Curtis has a deep knowledge, commitment, and passion for his work. Along with being highly professional, I can honestly say that it would be hard to find someone that is better at what he does!
