James is a highly talented Producer/Director who has been a great asset to my team on a number of shoots. The work has involved producing confidential story material for high-end TV dramas, working with talent who are often pressed for time, and setting up quickly and professionally in challenging interior and exterior locations. James has risen to the occasion every time and produced perfectly shot footage in sometimes adverse circumstances, always being sensitive to the needs of talent and execs. I would not hesitate to use him again.

Cristen Caine, Producer
