“Loren understands dance, our short timetables, and the even shorter attention spans of our audience on social media. Their communication on overall strategy, editing, and executional changes makes the process go smoothly. And, Loren’s turn-around timing is always on-schedule and their warm, personal style makes the process a pleasure.”
