When he’s not working you may catch him watching a movie, going to the beach or flying a kite.
Karen
Production Coordinator
Youʼll get to know Karen very well as she coordinates all aspects of your film/video shoot including bringing together the talent and resources necessary for a successful project. You may also find her behind the camera or next to it as an interviewer. With an Associates Degree in Film from Full Sail University, and through her work in TV and film, Karen has proven skills in the technical and management aspects of a production. When not focusing on a shoot, youʼll find her cranking away in an editing suite.
When she’s not working you’ll often find her playing her flute, doing anything outdoors or hosting pizza nights for the teens at her church.
Brian
Creative Director
“Perfect! Now, back to one.” This is one of Brian’s signature lines as he pursues excellence. With an Associates Degree in Film from Full Sail University and through his 10+ years of various freelance and full-time positions in the film/video industry prior to joining DUO, Brian brings strong creative talents to the team. His skills include all aspects of film/video production with an emphasis on directing and editing. Brian is also an accomplished musician and has written and performed scores for various film/video projects.
When he’s not working, you’ll find him brewing his own beer, designing a video game or napping with his dog.
Robin
