Richard
Maxwell, Obie Award-Winning Playwright, Filmmaker...
“Bob
joined us on location and from the moment we started, he was listening
and responding to the situations that arose with intelligence, humor,
compassion, keeping a level head the whole time. Without reservation
or judgment, Bob's answers and questions always felt geared toward
understanding the needs of the shoot, consequently I felt a rapport
almost instantly. We had an immutable deadline so being continually
under pressure I came to rely on Bob heavily. Thinking back, it's
impossible to imagine the project happening without him.”
Linda
Simidian, Producer, CNN, Good Day New York...
“I always
felt Bob’s greatest gift was how he envisioned a project.
He can see how a piece is going to cut together before anything
is shot. He sees it in his head. He would describe his latest concept
for a promo or a public service announcement to me and then a month
later the final piece would look just as he had described.”
Michael
Miscione, Documentary Producer, Manhattan Borough Historian...
“Bob
showed a knack for organization and teambuilding. After thinking
a project through, he would invite his videographers and editors
to be partners in his vision of the final product; his enthusiasm
and direction would inspire them to do their best work. As a result,
his programs were always tight, fully formed and visually pleasing.
Bob is one of the most multidimensional thinkers I know, an individual
who finds excitement in new ideas, regardless of the discipline.”
Chip
Benson, President Narragansett Films, Former General Manager NYC-TV...
“Bob
was often singled out by his colleagues during my annual reviews
as someone everyone enjoyed working alongside. He is a warm, genuine
and able producer, and his enthusiasm for the creative process is,
of course, contagious. Bob loves what he does. He is involved in
all aspects of production, and his ideas are extremely well thought
out as a result. When I did not give him an assignment fast enough,
he would come up with a few of his own.”
