I am writing with my highest recommendation of Patrick  Ortman and his video production team. Patrick and colleagues did a  fantastic job with our series of therapist training videos for treating  childhood autism. This UCLA/NIMH project was a complex undertaking with a  ton of material, and we needed a video director and producer who "got"  the details without losing sight of the big picture. Patrick worked  closely with us throughout all phases of the production to deliver  videos that exceeded our expectations, both creatively and technically.  His dedication to the craft of filmmaking, and his team's attitude and  professionalism on set were a joy. They even took a (rare for LA) rainy  week of filming and turned the set into bright sunny days to better suit  the material!

Patrick regularly came out to UCLA to meet with us before and after  shooting the films. He was extremely attentive to detail and took our  scripts and improved them, gave critical feedback, and posed extremely  precise questions to permit him and his team to realize our vision on  film.
