I recently had the pleasure of working with Derek Pfister at Chair on Stair films, and I cannot say enough good things. They were absolutely professional in every aspect, from the equipment down to the personal working experience. I was made to feel at ease in their hands and when all was said and done and I got to see the final product, I was able to walk away with my head held high, because of the quality of their work and absolute professionalism.

Derek's professionalism is head and shoulders above the rest. In our first meeting, I could tell that he really cared about the project I was hiring him for. It was a very small job that he wouldn't make a lot of money off of, but he treated it as though it was the most important thing he had on his schedule. Talking to him was like a breath of fresh air and really put me at ease. He was very direct and followed up with me about when he thought he would be done and he was right on! I appreciate top notch customer service! Especially in this field. I am so grateful that I brought my reels to him because to hand over your life's work into somebody else's hands is putting a lot of trust in them. And I trust that whatever job you want done, that Derek will make sure that it is top shelf and give you a very honest, fair price.

Derek has always had a talent for creating memorable, engaging content through video. I highly recommend him for your editing and shooting needs.
