"Creative, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what he does."

Carolyn May
CEO Artistic Studios, Albar Industries
"Bryan brings a wealth of creativity to projects. his genuine enthusiasm makes it a pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend that you experience his talents and energy today and regularly in the future

Simon Bucktrout
Art Director, Bucktrout, Novelist / Poet / Songwriter, Creative Mad Man & Consultant
"I have worked with Bryan as my DP on a feature film shot in Northern Michigan (Frontier Boys ), on an award-winning music video shot I northern Ireland (It is Well -Keith Kristyn Getty), as well as other films we’ve shot in Uganda, Columbia, Nepal, and many projects stateside as well. The bottom line for me is I keep going back to Bryan as a DP because he is passionate about the craft, and he makes all my stuff look well. You won’t likely find a better eye, or a craftsman who knows how to use whatever tools are available from a 10-ton grip truck to flashlights and headlamps; That’s Bryan."

John Grooters
Director/Writer/Producer, Grooters Production
"As an auto executive, I’m blown away by the fantastic job Bryan Papierski did on the corporate video, website and phot stills for Albar Industries. He built something that looks sharp, works smoothly, and really shows off what the company is about. Bryan clearly knows his stuff—his attention to detail and knack for making everything come together so well is top-notch. He was easy to work with, listened to what we needed, and delivered a site that’s better than I could’ve hoped for. The guy’s got real talent, and I’d recommend him to anyone needing a great website."

Glenn Curtis
President of Albar Industries
"Bryan is a gifted Director/DP. He is creative not only on set but in his thinking/planning before and after the shoot. Coming from a family of set/prop builders along with his strong educational and experience credentials, Bryan has an incredible ability to make every project look/feel 10 times its actual costs. My agency has used Bryan and his StoreFront crew on many occasions and their work has helped us over the years to become nationally known and respected."

Bill McKendry
Founder and Chief Creative Officer, BrandHaven
"Bryan has been both behind the camera and out front producing & directing for several of my favorite commercial shoots of my career, including for Davenport University, Priority Health and Americans for Better Care. He is an enthusiastic and innovative filmmaker who gets you the bonus-extra shots on top of the master takes you must have. He has tremendous go-go energy, works well with crew, and gets good performances out of on-camera talent. If it's snowing during your shoot and you didn't plan that (which happened on one of my shoots), Bryan finds a way to work that in and make it look like you WANTED it to snow. Finally, Bry is a laugh riot who keeps it upbeat on the set. I love this guy and suspect you will too."

Clayton Boothe
Novelist/ Poet/ Songwriter/ Creative Madman & Consultant
"This is an easy recommendation. I have these infamously high standards, so what I love about Brian is he's never figured out how to shoot bad film. The guy doesn't have a B mode. Too many directors do."

Joe Clipner
Creative Director, Writer, Producer, Git-Tar
"The jobs I've worked on with Bryan have always been great experiences. We've learned a lot working through problems and finding solutions - with the goal always being great creative work. He shoots beautiful film, works hard, and is a great person to know."

Derk Baartman
Founder/Executive Producer, db Studio
"Bryan is a great collaborator and fun visionary on and off the set. He knows his art and inspires others around him to stay up on their game. I love getting the opportunity to work with Bryan as he brings a skill set to the table that is only achieved through his many years in the business. I look forward to the next project we get to work on together."

Keith Golinski
DP and Post Production Director, Fulview Productions
"Bryan possesses the ability to enhance any project creatively. He is always thinking outside the box to produce unusual results. He has a gregarious personality that warms him to on camera talent and clients alike. He has an excellent mastery of his camera tools and uses them wisely in regards to budgeting. A pleasure to work with!"

Marguerite Parise
Executive Producer, 1080inc
"I love Bryan. I love his heart. I love his vision. I love his work. While his reel may speak for itself, behind his lens is the true artist/craftsman. He is someone willing to not just go out on the limb but to let go of it in order to get the shot, capture a moment, or make magic happen. Creative. Caring. Consummate Professional. That's Bryan. Did I mention that I love working with this guy?"

Will Oechsler
Senior Vice President, U.S. at Our Daily Bread
