Alongside his technical skills as an editor and director, Jeremy showed tremendous flexibility and imagination in developing the 90-minute program. Our audiences’ response to the production was extremely positive, exceeding our expectations. This is a reflection of the quality of Jeremy’s work and of the dedication he showed in bringing it to completion.’’

“Off the Leash Productions & Jeremy Handelman were the consummate professionals. I needed a high quality reel, and the footage itself, shot and produced fast. My new bi-coastal managers want to submit me for more TV & film. Jeremy is a Jack of all trades. He came highly recommended to me, and for very good reason. Though he was simultaneously producing a hit Off-Broadway show, he found a date, secured all the logistics for the shoot and produced & directed a beautiful reel, which I am very pleased to represent my work. My managers said they “love it!”. Jeremy has a very talented eye for what each actor can capitalize on and market, and he edits a reel with a very discerning eye. I don’t think you could find a better guy for this work! He also happens to be a delight to work with.”

“Jeremy did a fantastic job as videographer for my cabaret! He took the time to have a detailed phone conversation with me before my event, explained all of my options and answered all of my questions with care. On the day of the show, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in charge of the video. He arrived at the cabaret venue early to get a sense of the layout, the lighting and of my specific needs. He asked the right questions of the stage manager and tech person, and made sure to identify which of my songs and moments would require special handling. After the concert, Jeremy was immediately in touch. We talked about some visual options for the dvd, and within a week I had a beautiful and professional finished product that I was excited to share! Jeremy is wonderful – I give him my highest recommendation!”
