Hal Landen graduated from Goddard College in 1971 with a major in English. His media career began 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.”The book is available here.

Since that first book, he has created a number of  books, videos and other products for video producers.

His favorite hobby is sailing. He has been restoring Satin Doll, an ocean-going 29 foot yawl ^[1] which he sails often in Narragansett Bay and vicinity.
