Highlights

George Clemens (Editor)
Riitta did a fantastic job on our film and is one of the hardest workers I have had the pleasure of meeting. She built and helped us maintain a wonderful film set and really helped bring the film to life with her vision for the designs used throughout the film. I would definitely work with her again.
