Valerie Landes

David and I worked closely together for over three years as a team to create all local Public Television programming on KRCB-TV. His problem-solving skills and dry wit were instrumental to the success of our partnership. He is on top of the latest technical media advancements, and is able to ascertain necessary upgrades within very limited production budgets. David brings a unique creativity to make locally produced programming feel truly local, and therefore special to viewers. He knows who his viewers are, and caters to them well, but he also isn't afraid to try branching out. A strong supporter of independent living for people with disabilities, he created the successful The Best Seat in the House Festival, no small feat.

David has been a meticulous creator of media products, even in the early stages of his video work. A great person to be on your production team - even better if he is leading it.
