      I hired Dan Cohen and Faye Saechao with Full Court Press and was very pleased with the results of the Biennial Report produced for Alameda County Social Services Agency. They did an exceptional job of shepherding a complex project and flexible on the timelines given multiple rounds of internal review. Faye is an amazing designer who captured all of the visual elements we aimed to convey in this inaugural report for our agency. Dan & Faye are both excellent communicators and easy to work with throughout the entire engagement. Highly recommend!! A++!!

      Eleanor Davis's Review Sourced from Google

      If I could give more stars, I would. I recently worked with Corduroy on two separate documentary-style video series. Both projects involved challenging and complicated content, quick timelines, and a lot of creative problem solving. Corduroy blew me out of the water with their energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and their willingness to educate themselves and become deeply familiar with our programming and the subject matter before the process had even begun. Not only that, but they were incredible listeners - always genuinely asking for and receiving feedback, and looking to me and my team as the experts on the subject matter of the videos. Working with Corduroy felt like a real creative partnership in a way that it hasn't always with other video production companies I've worked with. And, to top it all off, they are wildly talented. The videos they produced for us are incredibly beautiful - the footage is gorgeous, they hit all the perfect key points, and the videos are educational and effective at teaching as much as they are inspiring and moving. The team is a joy to work with and talented to boot - can't recommend them highly enough!

      From the proposal stage to the final video, everyone at Corduroy were great to work with. We couldn't trust them more with producing a video that would evoke the emotions and motivation from our audience to learn more about our outreach programs. Brandon, our Producer and Director was fantastic throughout the project and we are so pleased with how he and his team transformed the untold stories of our participants into a moving and inspirational video. We definitely hope there will be more opportunities to collaborate again in the near future!

      I've worked with this San Francisco video production company on several higher-ed projects and have been extremely happy with both the process and the end product. Corduroy goes above and beyond to ensure projects are successful. They are also a pleasure to collaborate with and bring a level of passion and professionalism to projects that is truly profound.
