Testimonials
"I've worked with a great many media producers in my 35 years in the restaurant business. The finest partnership I've ever had with such a producer has been with GoodFriend. Ryan leaps ahead of everyone I've ever worked with. He is an exceptionally talented person. The value of his work and its production value is unsurpassed, in my experience.”
Michael Lachowicz — Chef/Proprietor, The George Trois Group
With all of the moving parts that come with coordinating a shoot, one thing I never have to think twice about is working with GoodFriend. With years of expertise and an incredibly personable crew, GoodFriend has always been able to provide high-quality work and make everyone on set feel comfortable
Tinbit Asfaw — Producer, Demo Duck
“We were fortunate to be introduced to GoodFriend about three years ago and haven't looked back. What struck us initially in reviewing their portfolio was the quality of their work; the cinematography and the way they stitched a story together. What we've come to love is the genuine spirit of collaboration and the way they've become part of our community. You can find great cameras and editing software, but directors/producers of this caliber are a rare breed. We're proud to have GoodFriend as our creative partners.”
Alex Sheridan — Director of Enrollment, Marketing, & Financial Aid, Lake Forest Country Day School
GoodFriend brings an attitude that is remarkably productive. They’re hungry and dedicated to the work. They want nothing more than to be craftsmen on set, but also super fun to work with. We're either enthusiastically collaborating, or laughing our rears off, which typically equates to some really quality work. ”
Adam Moorman — Founding EP and Director, All Day Breakfast
