“The script Louie Stevens wrote captured the human element of Casa de Amparo while educating our viewers about child abuse. I especially like how the video shows what we do to change the lives of abused children — and prevent the 'cycle of abuse.'” — Sharon Delphenich, LCSW, Executive Director, Casa de Amparo

Louie brought three cameras to film my live presentation in front of an audience of 300 people. Then he edited the footage down to a very succinct 10 minutes, wrote a very creative and fun open and close with several in-between vignettes that perfectly tied my story together. I didn't see the video until it was totally completed and I loved it immediately with no changes! — Eddie Osterland, America's 1st Master Sommelier
