CLIENT REVIEW
"Russell is a seasoned and multi-faceted professional whose talents shone most notably as technical producer of the Library Foundation's Awards Dinners held at the iconic Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Russell not only managed these complex, star-studded events seamlessly, but he also produced and edited an outstanding tribute for award recipient Larry McMurtry which comprised two stunning videos that were projected simultaneously on multiple large, High-Definition screens.
In honor of Tom Brokaw, Russell again oversaw all aspects of the Awards Dinner, displaying his technical as well as artistic proficiency and keen attention to detail."
