“We contacted Brian, looking for production management for one of our main client, IBM who had a great project to team up their Artificial Intelligence named Watson with a local fashion designer named Jason Gresch to come up with a collection to be presented at the Melbourne Fashion Week. As much as the collection was a success, the whole project was a great success winning multiple awards for the agency and the brand. Working with Brian was simply awesome. Brian knows film making and understands the intricacy of making a good story work, he is a great coordinator, he has the knowledge of people, has an excellent network, and is super tech savvy. His point of view as a director helps greatly in the process and assures the team they get all they need. I strongly recommend working with Brian and really look forward to our next shoot in Melbourne, as Brian will truly make you love the town.”
