OUR LEADERSHIP
Perry Contini
DirectorThe name of the game is “Don’t be ordinary”. Perry pushes himself and the team to create breakthrough imagery that will motivate an audience. His goal is simple… “Change a viewer’s perspective. If I am not moved by the story, then the project doesn’t leave the MOTOR edit suite.”
Aaron Hartshorn
Writer/DirectorAaron is a director based in Denver.
He’s worked with Academy Award winners, Super Bowl MVPs, and puppies who nearly-almost-didn’t-pee-on-the-carpet. His work has been broadcasted around the world and been celebrated with ADDYs, TELLYs and the approval of his picky nephew. Notches on his belt include shooting literally 300 scripts in a single day, having his work inspire a country song, and having a client confess they were moved to tears over a rough cut. He was 50, and from Texas.
