Bio
Gary Wentz
Gary is an amazing creative talent. There's not much he can't do. I had the pleasure of being reminded and continually surprised by his unique abilities for the 2+ years we spent working together on everything from website redesigns to documentary videos. He approaches every project, no matter how big or small, with the same passion, critical thinking, and drive to create beautiful end results. Gary is an incredibly valuable force to have in your agency or studio.
Jessica Ward
Gary's talent is undeniable. He is the best kind of colleague—extremely professional, fun to be around, highly skilled, and incredibly creative. During our time together at Evoke, Gary was an unstoppable department of one. He developed videos of the highest caliber and raised the bar for our work across the board. After we completed a few projects together, I remember wondering how we ever operated without him. Gary infuses emotion into everything he produces—and some of my favorite pieces were developed in collaboration with him.
