❝ 'Stand-By.' For anyone whose had the pleasure of working with Duane, these words will resonate... for it's in this stand-by mode that Duane often works his magic and we, as clients and observers, come to realize Duane's creative and technical GREATNESS is only surpassed by something even more special. That he cares about creating an atmosphere in which collaboration is embraced, creativity can blossom, quality is assumed... and lifelong friendships are born and sustained.

Chief Creative Officer at FAVILLI STUDIO & Disney Imagineer
❝ We employed Duane to create an EPK (Electronic Press Kit)/Promo Reel to showcase our company's talents, based on his pitch. The end product has made such an impact that we intend to employ this strategy as part of all our promotions moving forward. Duane got us on the talking points that mattered most and edited everything into an upbeat, fast-paced package that has wowed everyone that has seen it.

❝ Many years ago, when we wanted to rethink how video could tell a story, Duane and I collaborated on a series of industrial projects for major organizations. His "eye" is beyond compare in how he "sees" what the camera can capture; his patience is amazing; and his discipline is welcome. I learned so much from Duane and, years later, I still rely on those lessons. Thank you.

❝ Duane is worlds ahead of every trend in production... he approaches a project from an angle that's never been viewed before. His vision is unmatched...

❝ I have known Duane for many years and have found him a dependable and creative business partner. On several occasions, I have asked for Duane's help on digital marketing solutions...

❝ I used to describe [Duane] as a Gifted Editor/Director, but having worked with "gifted editor/directors" since then, that is a a sad undervaluation. I do not know what to call a person that can take the most seemingly boring footage and arrange in a way I cannot turn off... Something somewhere deep within the topic will have caught his eye and turned it from mundane into magnificent.
He is a pleasure to work with, a comfortable collaborator and direct and constructive communicator. But moreover, he is truly a creator and inventor in his medium of dynamic linear imagery and engagement of people in the topic at hand.

❝ Duane is a multifaceted, multitalented, creative, and technical artisan. I honestly only know very few people that are able to handle multiple area's of expertise professionally and Duane is among them. Some of his talents include: directing, editing, cinematographer, producer, writer, as well as technical wizard. I have known Duane for many years and have composed music for him and for many of his projects. A few of the projects we've worked together on were for NBC, University of New Mexico, THTV, Pursuit Network's A Show of Support, and Amazon. Every time he's delivered on time and with the utmost creativity and highest quality. He's really great to work with. He has a vision for his work, but allows those also involved to also bring out their best. In other words in addition to his great skill he also creates the fertile ground for everyone involved with him, to flourish and grow.
