Minna is a very dedicated and experienced producer. She is really committed to her projects and seems to possess the superpower of being indefatigable! Minna loves being on location, deals exceptionally well with unexpected challenges (or emergencies), is incredibly resourceful and knows when to refer up. Overall she is utterly tenacious, conscientious and meticulous in her pursuit of story or access; oversight of editorial, prep, logistics and crew; and management of everything from consent paperwork to on-screen talent.

Rebecca Templar, Series Producer

Minna really makes things happen. She puts her heart into the job and elevates the experience of the shoot by being there 150%. Her intelligence, professionalism and cool is exactly what we all need on our cinematic adventures.

NADAV

Minna produced two films out of a series of eight for Netflix each featuring one of the most dramatic hostage crises from recent times. She did a truly outstanding job. The films required extraordinarily difficult, complex and sensitive access to multiple contributors and story telling. Minna managed all of this with consummate skill. Our shoots were equally challenging, and she also took these in her stride. I cannot recommend Minna highly enough.

Alexander Marengo

Minna has an indefatigable spirit and work ethic. She researches with depth and understanding of the narrative and the needs of the director, she is good at getting clear information from contributors and preparing them for filming. Minna is one of the most supportive Producers I have had the pleasure to work with on location, she has an attention to detail and leaves no stone unturned for the smooth running of a tight scheduled foreign shoot. She is good at managing budgets, the crew and local staff, her own time and anything else that is required of her on the ground. I would highly recommend her.

Ruhi Hamid, Director

Minna is incredibly diligent, thoughtful and dedicated... an absolute pleasure to work with! In her role as Producer she has covered all aspects needed (from securing difficult access to managing float) with aplomb. I would happily work with her again and intend to do so...

Natalie Hill - Executive Producer

Minna is great - a real trooper. never happier than when she's up to her neck in muck and bullets. She's been to some pretty rough and ready places and managed to persaude all kinds of unsavory characters to appear on camera. She's worked with major presenting talent. She's got an incredible contact list built up over years in the field. She's a skilled multi-linguist.

I could go on.

Bottom line: Minna is a tremendous asset to any production. Highly recommended.

Chris Lent, Series Editor, Crime

Minna simply rocks! Calm, thorough, fearless and experienced. You won't regret it...

WILL WEST, Producer/ Director, Camera
