"When you have a strong conviction, you have a duty not to tell people what they want. At least represent yourself and say: ‘Yo, this is what I’m into, and this is what I’m seeing in the world. Let me take your hand and guide you through it, so you can see through my eyes"

Denzel and I have worked together on video productions since 2016 from pre-production, on-set production, to post. His communication skills both team-side and client-side are top-notch: friendly and personable while always professional. Denzel brings a fast-paced style and fresh trends to his roles as editor and music supervisor at my company Mint Fox Media. His stellar attitude and mindset put his teams first and allow him to accomplish anything to which he sets his mind. I highly recommend Denzel.
