A word from one of our clients…

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Here is a wonderful testimonial from one of our movie marketing clients, Baldemar Rodriguez:

“From all my years in school, continuing education classes and workshops in the film business, I always felt excited because of the wonderful teachers and advisors that helped mold me into what I am today. Family and friends also had a great part in this job.

As an independent filmmaker from a small town called Pasadena, TX, I never knew what this industry had in store for me. All I knew is that I had the passion to follow my dream and that I was fortunate and blessed to have the opportunity to work in a field that I love.

As you know, development of my movie El Nacional started many years ago. The National Association of Latino Producers (NALIP) had a great part in developing this project as I have taken many of the signature programs they offer, like NALIP’s Producers Academy. Everything that I learned throughout the years I have put in practice but somehow there was a piece missing that I couldn’t wrap my fingers around – the movie marketing materials.

Even though we are taught that we need to start early in our projects and have items such as “keyart” and “Press Kits, etc” in place, it was hard to find the right partnership with a vendor that caters to us small independents.

I was THRILLED when I learned about Graphic Alchemy Design & Printing. The wonderful creative services that you offer are fantastic.  There aren’t that many companies out there that take on independent projects like mine.  I’ve looked.  And those that do, charge as though we are big studios.  But when I found out about your business and all that you provide and your reasonable quotes, I was excited.  You took on my project with heart, body and soul.  Your personal attention to El Nacional was admirable.  Even though you were working on a big studio project simultaneously with mine, you always gave me the same reliability, the same personal attention without lacking creativity.  And what I was most impressed was that you often worked til 3 or 4 in the morning to make your deadlines.  You accommodated each and every change with a smile and a warm heart all the while offering your professional recommendations on the designs.  You brought my vision to a whole new level in my movie marketing materialsBecause of you, I stood out at our most recent NALIP confernce with my marketing posters, brochures, my media wall and sell sheets.  I left an impression with many of my NALP collegues, mentors, and advisors.

You are outstanding!
Your company and your services are crucial to us independents.  Your personal attention to detail is paramount. Your commitment is commendable and your passion to work on each individual project by giving 200% all the way through will keep your clients, big and small, coming back!  I know I am. You’ve made a friend for life.  Thank you for your many talents…and sharing them with me. Gracias Amiga.”

Warm Saludos,
Baldemar Rodriguez
