Our Happy Clients

I have had the pleasure of knowing Richie for over 15 years. During this time, I’ve seen him establish himself as a talented and dedicated Steadicam operator whose experience and expertise have been in demand for events ranging from the Super Bowl to the Olympics.

I was fortunate enough to bring him onto two Grindstone films. He served as a camera operator on VANQUISH and GUNSLINGERS. In each case, he was highly praised by fellow crew members for his technical skill and professionalism.

Richie stands out for his commitment to his work and his ability to go above and beyond what is expected. Just as importantly, he brings a positive, friendly attitude to the table and is a genuine and good person to be around.

I have been very happy with Richie’s contributions to Grindstone and strongly recommend him for future productions.
