A Message from a Creatio Partner
Those of us at Vossler Media Group are incredibly excited about the Film Production program at Northwest University. Over the last few years we have hired several graduates from their audio programs and have been very impressed at their ability to contribute at a high-level right from their first day on the job. Perhaps most impressive has been their familiarity with the professional tools and techniques that our own audio experts use on a regular basis. And now, with the introduction of this new Film Production program, we are looking forward to seeing the same level of excellence as we hire video producers, cinematographers, or film editors for our studio.
