Introduction: From a guerrilla crew of one to large-scale production teams, I thrive in quick turnaround environments tackling new challenges, with a proven ability to identify and manage assumptions, risks and opportunities associated with a diverse range of production demands, as well as communicate clearly with all stakeholders. A proven relationship builder with global production know-how, I believe you will find STARRION to be a powerful and dynamic creative/technical resource that delivers measurable results. A strategic eye on maximizing assets and opportunities across a multitude of media delivery platforms...the biggest bang for your buck.
Working in video and film is like having a backstage pass to the world. The range of projects never gets old. Whether it's a commercial, documentary, music video, television program or viral short, I remain a passionate storyteller that has built a reputation for putting a human face and a compelling, emotional context to cutting edge technologies, complex social/environmental issues and life affirming achievements, that drive genuine results. Imagery and storylines that resonate deeply with target audiences. A documentary on UFOs reviewed as "the best doc on the subject in 40 years"; a music video for LL Cool J that garnered millions of views, let alone described as "the most impactful video of his career"; an adventure travel series that senior National Geographic executives wrote "Ron Lakis' creative abilities are nothing less than extraordinary"; a fundraising video for a non-profit that triggered just over $100k in less than 15 minutes. Can't ask for more than that, except to welcome the next challenge.
