Andrea Keating, Founder/CEO
Andrea Keating introduced the industry to the concept of a freelance film and video
staffing company in 1988. And since then, “It’s been an incredible experience
made all the better by great clients, fabulously talented crews and the best team
on Earth working right along with me.” At Crews Control, Andrea is constantly
thinking about how to serve her clients better. That’s her number one objective.
As for her other, more whimsical goals, she’d like to invent an everyday product,
go to cooking school, and finally learn how to whistle.

Polly Tyo, Operations Manager/Collections
Polly is Andrea’s right hand and she is always looking for new ways to make
Crews Control run more efficiently. She manages major contracts and the accounts
receivable functions and is the resident spreadsheet expert extraordinaire. Her
witty outbursts entertain the office on a daily basis. She loves pina coladas and
getting caught in the rain, or maybe just cheesy 70’s and 80’s music.
She knows every word to the movie GREASE and hopes one day to eat and drink her
way through Italy.

Valerie Stedman Nolan, Vice President of Production
Valerie’s cool head and ability to put out fires with ease makes her a client
favorite. She’s the office IT wizard and our resident trivia champ, which
should give you at least a hint as to how darn smart she is. She’d like to
make an entry into the
Encyclopedia of Life, continue to travel, and maybe even get over her hang-up
about the strange texture of popsicle sticks on your tongue.

Rebekah Toth, Multimedia Marketing Manager
Rebekah is the Crews Control’s official “Social Butterfly” as
she spends her day fluttering between blogs, tweets, podcasts and surfing the web.
She is also a self proclaimed video geek who keeps us all up to date on technical
solutions and new gear. If it’s the latest and greatest Rebekah is the first
to know about it… and she looks forward to sharing that knowledge with all
of our followers and friends! A true multi-tasker Rebekah can even pat her head
and rub her belly at the same time. When she isn’t camping, white-water rafting,
or trying some new food, she’s reaching for the crown of podcasting princess,
check out Rebekah in action at our
Podcast section.

Kate Waterfall, Production Manager
Kate’s had extensive field production experience, which helps her find just
the right crew for your job. Kate is a powerhouse—at work and at play. She
runs, hikes, bikes and swims. She can speak and sing in a variety of characters
and styles, which she used to do professionally for TV and radio. Give her a call
and hear for yourself. And be sure to ask her why it is that she’s never thrown
away an issue of National Geographic.

Cricket Capucci, Production Manager
“I have never worked with such a creative and talented team,” says Cricket
(which isn’t her given name, by the way). She believes in living life to the
fullest, which is a motto she applies day-to-day as she helps video producers get
their productions done (with the world’s best crews, of course). She’ll
match you with the perfect crew for your project so quickly that you’ll still
have time to ask her about her volunteer position as a sports league official.

Brad Spinsby, Production Assistant
As the Production Assistant to the Production Manager Stars of Crews Control Brad
Spinsby has a busy day juggling hundreds of details on scores of shoots daily. Luckily
his extensive production background gives him the smarts that he needs to keep everyone
happy! When he is done with his very busy day he likes to escape it all by going
for a run or brewing his own beer. Varied interests yes...but what do expect from a sci-fi
nut that grew up in what used to be a one-room schoolhouse? Feel free to test his
trivia knowledge of 2001: A Space Odyssey the next time you call!

Carolyn Bean, Accounts Reconciliation Manager
Carolyn says Crews Control is the best place she’s ever worked. Carolyn handles
the management of our accounts payable and receivable with speed and efficiency—and
we love her for that, among other things. If you’ve only talked to Carolyn
by phone, you may not know how much she loves to experiment with her hair. We’ll
need to update this photo every few weeks. Now that Carolyn is a recent empty nester
with her two boys off in college she takes care of the Crews Control staff by being
the office chef, pharmacist and chauffer.

Michelle Patz, Billing Assistant
Michelle Patz not only has a green thumb but also has an eye on the green here at
Crews Control. When she isn't using her talent for numbers in the billing department
preparing client invoices she is busy working in her blooming garden at home. She
brings her other talents to work as well, sprucing up her workspace with her background
in interior design... and adding to all of our waistlines with her gourmet baking treats!

in, out and on in the office. Her extraordinary organizational skills keep the entire
team on track. She loves to travel, has driven cross country four times and her
favorite vacation was spending time in her mother’s seaside hometown south
of London. She loves to write and won a regional DAR writing competition in her
younger years and makes a mean cheese soufflé.

Lisa Shenkle, Director of Public Relations
As much of a detective as she is a PR practitioner, Lisa can sniff out an interesting
press angle from miles away. And with exciting crew shoots happening around the
world every day, Crews Control has plenty of great stories for her to tell. Always
looking for a dynamic photo and a fresh news lead, Lisa shares crew and client news
with the industry and mainstream media both near and far... of course she needs
a ton of pens to keep up with this busy group!
