Mike Janowski,President/editor, Jaz & Company Electronic Post Production

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Rosemary Cutinelli for far too long than she'd like me to reveal, but in the interest of full disclosure and truth, our professional relationship began in 1978, when I was first hired as a part-time "Production Assistant" (camera, lighting, studio setup and maintenance, teleprompter, etc) at Deltak, Inc., a pioneering developer of multimedia computer skills training. Rosemary acted as my de-facto "graduate school tutor" in all things television production, mentoring me through crucial early on-the-job learning experiences and really helping me find my place in the corporate television industry of the 80s.

We've continued to work together closely as we both navigated our separate career paths. As I moved into post production and editing, Rosemary became a favored client of mine, because our close working relationship allowed us to communicate "in shorthand", as it were, on projects. I always knew that when Rosemary was at the helm, as a writer/producer/director for freelance clients like Blue Cross/Blue Shield, or as Producer and Project Manager for United States Gypsum, that I'd get a completely realized, strongly managed project which I could jump right in on and begin the editorial process without a lot of muss, fuss and bother. Our years working together at USG are especially important. She efficiently and economically produced literally dozens of video and new media projects for a diverse cross-section of internal clients (marketing, manufacturing, customer support, human resources and corporate communications), always managing to juggle several projects at once with creativity and aplomb. I always enjoyed freelancing for her, and always looked forward to her calls to come in and work on another USG job.

With Rosemary, you'll be getting an experienced, organized and dedicated media professional who knows film and television from the ground up; who can write, produce and direct; who has lots of new media skills, including presentations, website development, on-line marketing, on-line training and on-line learning. And she's someone who possesses those "intangibles" most employers look for; great communications skills, an outgoing and winning personality, taste and discrimination, and the ability to manage a team and work by consensus. Perhaps I'm a bit biased by our long working relationship, but I think Ms. Cutinelli is the ideal candidate for the position you're looking to fill.
