Testimonials
-
Working with Salim Makhlouf and his team at Penn Studios was a true joy. Where do I start? Salim was a careful listener as we discussed the desired concept, message, and tone of our video. We appreciated both his collaboration as we coordinated film shoot logistics — in the midst of a bustling school day at Harrisburg Academy! — and his professionalism with post-production work in the editing room. Now with a wonderful, finished product in-hand, we couldn’t be happier. Penn Studios made our story come to life and artfully captured the magic of our school. Thank you!

We had the pleasure of collaborating with Salim on several video projects for Railsware. His efficient management and video talent convinced us to continue working with him on future projects. He worked well with our marketing team and represented us well when working with our clients. Salim was flexible to meet our needs and was willing to travel. Overall, we are very happy with the collaboration and look forward to working with his team in the future.

The team at Penn Studios did a wonderful job creating high quality videos for our dealerships here in Mechanicsburg, Pa. They were professional and courteous working with our staff and customers while shooting the videos. They truly seemed to understand what we were trying to accomplish while shooting and editing the content. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality team to produce quality content for their business.

Penn Studios was truly fantastic to work with. From our first introduction meeting via phone through the entire video production process, Salim and his team were reliable, dependable, innovative, and fun to work with. I detailed my vision and they made it a reality. I highly, highly recommend this talented group.
