SAMUEL JOSEPH ISADORE WORKMAN
CEO of Ramshackle Studios LLC
Director /Producer /Cinematographer /Podcaster
I've got alot of titles but that mostly means I'm well versed on running a project start to finish. For 4 years I’ve been producing and shooting corporate, commercial, live concerts and independent short films. As well as Producing and releasing my Podcasts (Tertiary Sports & The Clambake Incident) with my co-host Reed Bridge-Koenigsberg. I work best as a Director in collaboration with others and creating something unexpected together and I enjoy taking on the full breadth of an exciting project.
As with most creative folk I have too many projects coming up. Currently working on two more podcasts as well as and writing and producing my own short film coming next year to the Mayhem Film Festival
JOHN WASHINGTON II
President of Jacob’s Ladder Productions, Inc.
Film maker/videographer.
For the past 4 years I’ve been producing and shooting corporate, commercial, live concerts and independent short films. I also do sound engineering, lighting as well as pre and postproduction.
Prior to that I was a fine art photographer since 1992, specializing in shooting and selling wildlife and landscape photography and prints. I also ran a fine art reproduction business for 5 years. I have several certifications in digital color management and workflow as well.
A couple of my favorite projects to date are The Story: Isaac Foss live in concert in which I completely produced a concert series solo, including lighting video and sound. It was an incredible amount of work, but extremely satisfying. Second would be the project I am just starting, One Girl’s Story, a documentary of a child sex trafficking victim that has gone on to recover and start an organization dedicated to preventing sex trafficking.
