Having relocated to Georgia three years ago from Los Angeles, I've kept in touch with all my entertaiment Industry contacts, developed over 35 years in the industry. Origianlly moving to Atlanta to serve as V.P. of Sales & Marketing for the City's second largest prop house, with contracts with Marvel and numerous other film & television Studios, keeping those channels alive during the challenging times of the strikes seemed all the more essential.
Having been on the hunt for Powercore members who provided complimentary services to the luxury portriat photograpy market I am endeavouring to access, (and several invaluable reccomendations from my own team) I met and had a lunch with Randy Beck, the superb Videographer and Producer from the Whitlock Team. After doing my research on his company, capabilities and level of skill and service, when a long time Los Angeles Director/Producer and collaborative partner of mine for 25 years, called me and asked if I had an Atlanta "A" level video crew I could refer to him with absoloute confidence, I know the answer immediately, and recomended his with the highest professional endorsement, even though we had never formally worked together.
Within 2 weeks the shoot was a go, with Randy and his team from Studio Lensa aboard. After a $25,000 payday, (and the very happy client) I felt this was a stand-out referral, one likely to result in much future business.
