IN THEIR WORDS

“I have used Zack and his team for all of my business’ promotional videos. I’ve loved everything he’s done for my company Lenox Fit in Lenox. He is responsive, professional and really takes the time to get it right, every time. I will continue to use him long into the future because his videos produce the results I am looking for while staying true to our brand. 10/10 recommend Penford Productions!”
Sue Merritt, Owner of Lenox Fit

“I had the privilege of working alongside Zack for years, and I can say without hesitation that his ability to take a message and turn it into a story is rare. He doesn’t just shape narratives, he brings them to life in a way that people can feel. That gift was a driving force behind the growth of our movement and carried through into our run for Governor.
You could always tell when Zack had his hands on something. There was a different energy to it. It hit deeper and it connected. It gave people chills and made them believe in what we were building.
In a world full of noise, Zack has a way of cutting through it and reminding people why the story matters in the first place. Highly recommend!”

“Penford Productions made a phenomenal video to help us share our vision to church plant in Detroit. Capturing was straightforward, editing was efficient, and the result was engaging and meaningful.”
“Zack went above and beyond in making our church planting video- carefully crafting it so it can tell the best story and reflect both my husband and I. patiently doing retakes & making sure we’re comfortable in front of the camera. And most especially, enduring the downtown Detroit cold. we have received so many positive feedbacks about our video and we are moved by it EVERY single time we watch it!!! It’s just that GOOD! Thanks, Zack! What a blessing you are to us!”
“The result was engaging and meaningful.”
