What the work does
The 2026 film reuses material captured for the museum’s 2021 25th-anniversary film.
“Andrew is incredibly enthusiastic and thorough. All of his projects are well-researched and managed from start to finish, from the project outline, to interviews, to execution. He takes incredible care to communicate the status of the project to clients, and the finished products are high-quality, professional, and retain the client's artistic vision. I cannot recommend anyone more highly!!”
