Founder
Hal Landen's media career began in the early '70s when he founded "The Country
Journal," a newspaper serving the people of north central
Vermont. After successfully launching the paper, he became
fascinated with the creative possibilities of film and
television, and accepted a job with ABC Sports in 1975.
It was there at the cutting edge of television that he learned
from some of the best cameramen, editors and producers in the
business.
In 1977 Hal became a freelance cameraman and producer. Since
that time his award-winning work has taken him to such locations
as the Philippines, the North Sea, Brazil, and El Salvador for
clients such as Warner Brothers, AT&T and CBS "60 Minutes." His
assignments have included a documentary in the Amazon jungle,
television commercials, and interviews with Katharine Hepburn,
Sean Connery, and Woody Allen.
He has produced hundreds of successful marketing and training
films for a variety of industries and human service agencies.
When asked to recommend books to help small businesses and non-
profits use video, he found none that were suitable for business
people. This prompted him to write "Marketing With Digital Video: How To
Create A Winning Video For Your Small Business or Non-Profit."

His favorite hobby is sailing. He has been
restoring Satin Doll, an ocean-going 29 foot yawl which he sails often in Narragansett Bay and vicinity.
