Report
Kent and Granite River Studios worked with the NH Private Provider Network to produce a workforce promotional video for Direct Support Professionals. The overall process was very positive and professional, despite the challenges of working with such a large and challenging group in the midst of a pandemic! The end result was an impressive, high quality video that has been very well received. I highly recommend Kent and Granite River Studios and would be happy to work with them again.

Kent and team did a fantastic job filming and editing highlights from our professional development day with Franklin School District. We had a certain format we were looking for, gave these to Kent and the finished product was more than we had hoped. They even took the time to make our still graphics move. Would highly recommend this team.

We used Kent Rich from Granite River Studios to produce our first ever virtual event. Kent was amazing! Given that we had never done this before, Kent was a great source of support and knowledge. Our event was a huge success and we will be using Kent for any of our video/photo needs in the future! Kent went above and beyond the scope of our project to ensure our success! Fantastic to work with!

Our organization, St. Gianna's Place, worked with Kent and his team for our first virtual fundraiser and were very impressed, not only with the finished product, but with the amount of help and guidance they gave us throughout the entire project. Kent worked with us tirelessly (and very patiently) to make sure we got the results we wanted. They are true professionals who know their business inside and out.

Having worked with Kent on multiple projects, I can say there's not many like him in a hundred mile radius. He's got a unique skillset where he can light, shoot, produce, edit, and all at a beyond competent level. He also owns an impressive amount of gear--all of which he knows inside and out. I would recommend Granite River to any crews or technicians that need a local pro to join their team, or quarterback their team.
