As Director of DC8 Jess Stainbrook lead by example but with a "hand's off" approach. He hired talented people, wound them up and let them create. Jess didn't micro manage. He kept his focus on opportunity instead of putting out fires. With his guidance, there weren't many fires to put out, except maybe where to put all of the awards we were winning.

Jess Stainbrook can be counted
on to create something wonderful without much support. Jess is competent,
trustworthy and dependable. He made a tremendous positive difference
for our organization. His
stewardship of our local fledgling television station was recognized when he
and the station received the prestigious 2004 Station Excellence Emmy Award. It was
his ability to see what needed to be done, get it done and get it done in the
right way that set us apart.

I hired Jess Stainbrook for his creativity and his innate capacity to develop and produce award-winning videos. I kept hiring Jess because of his ability to work with and get the best performance from everyone from executives to dishwashers. Working and traveling together, I also developed a strong appreciation for his ethics, his business acumen and his drive to, "do it right" even if it meant another take or just one more shot. Over my 15 years in the television business I hired a lot of people. None of them came close to his performance and professionalism. You will not find a better Producer, Director, Videographer, Script Writer or friend than Jess Stainbrook.

Jess Stainbrook, as manager of the county cable franchise, consistently came up with engaging, creative, and utterly unexpected programming. Every year, he wound up "beating" much larger and better funded stations by bringing home Emmys for his programs. Jess's style was collaborative, professional, and encouraging. The quality of the final product - whether it be public service announcements, library commercials, or in-depth historic programming - was always outstanding. He was also a genuine pleasure to work with. Jamie LaRue Director of Douglas County Libraries

There's something I've been meaning to tell you for quite a while......THANK YOU! I will always be grateful for all you've done to get CCU's Media Program off the ground. It was just a glimmer in our eyes three years ago when you started from scratch to build a program that would be great for students and the university. If you ever get to share this letter with a prospective client, please do so. Better yet, have them give me a call and I will give you a ringing endorsement!

Jess produced several video
pieces to promote, celebrate and generally raise awareness regarding various
ministry projects in our Men's Ministry. He is masterfully skilled in
videography as well as editing, but more foundationally, he understands
communication - making the message relevant to the target audience. And his
heart for Christ and his character ensures excellence as the finishing touch.

Since you've begun taping, producing and airing my concert series, America's Soul Live, I've been overwhelmed with the response from people who are regular viewers of your programming. I think I know why. From the very beginning you and your team skillfully avoided the pitfalls inherent in producing concert footage. Everything from camera angles to lighting, pre-show production to interaction with the audience is first rate, making an exceptionally watchable series, even better than Austin City Limits and similar programs! - Jon Chandler Singer, Songwriter, Musician and Creative Director for Poker Creek Productions
