  PRODUCER

  I had the pleasure of working with Richard Hassen on two very challenging programs for a global health and fitness company (Gaiam). Richard was the producer, I was the production manager.Richard handled the creative side of the program as well as managing the talent. No easy feat in this case. He managed the high end talent with ease and confidence. It left me free to oversee the production.Richard was a pleasure to work with. He was a consummate professional with a confident management style. He was also very supportive, a quality which everyone appreciated. I’d work with him again on any type of production. It was a great experience.Loretta Polizzi, Production Manager Show less
