Andrea Keating

Founder/CEO

Andrea Keating introduced the industry to the concept of a freelance film and video creative outsourcing company in 1988. And since then, “Our industry has changed dramatically with dozens of new ways to capture images and create, edit and deliver content.  The one thing that hasn’t changed is the desire to work with very best creative team you can for each and every project.  We build those teams for our clients every day.”  Andrea is constantly thinking about how she can serve her clients better and is a tech junkie, numbers maniac and serial entrepreneur. 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.
