    "When I first considered doing a family documentary, I was hesitant due to my lack of experience and comfort in front of a camera. However, with Joe’s patience and expert editing, he was able to bring to the screen a cohesive and memorable family history that my grandchildren and their children will cherish for decades. I could not have done it without Joe’s help and expertise."

    "It is impossible to give Joe too many compliments. He worked with us under a huge time-crunch and was available, responsive, and gave great advice on our audio/visual elements.

    He really listened to what we wanted, took our notes and created the final product we envisioned out of whatever material we were able to give him.

    He worked with us during our high-pressure event and really took it in stride and was able to make us all fans of his.

    It really speaks to his ability to manage clients and his film production and editing skills."

    "We engaged JR to produce a series of corporate videos. We wanted "out of the box" thinking and highly professional results. By the way, we interviewed and worked with other video producers prior to engaging JR so we had points of comparison.

    JR is by far the best we have worked with. He is extremely competent in video production... and we appreciated that he didn't oversell himself. If he can't do something, he will say so. What he does do is excellent. He is creative and brings new ideas to the table for our consideration... gives us options.

    He is very professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Punctual to the minute... if he says he will call at 3 pm, you can definitely expect his call exactly at 3 pm. He has met all deadlines, often in advance.

    We find his fees reasonable. Given the high quality of his work, he offers an excellent value for video production.

    Bottom line... we will continue to work with JR on all future video projects. He is our 'go to' guy."

    "Incredibly talented video editor!

    We worked with Joseph on a virtual conference project and he was far and away the best part of the experience. I have been in the association management field for almost 30 years so I have had occasion to work with many videographers and editors. JR Grant Films/Joseph Grant is professional, calm, experienced... he is the real deal. Great, intuitive editor and director.

    If you need someone who will make you and your project look good, I highly recommend Joseph Grant/J.R. Grant Films."
