Here’s a fun fact: Stories are an essential part of being human. Maybe as much as breathing. Seriously. Think about it. We know our entire world through stories. They tell us where we came from and where we are going. They make us laugh or cry. They’re why we love to curl up with a good book and stay up late to binge.
Bottom line, a well-told story cuts through the clutter.
That’s why we tell Genuine People Stories. Something that is genuine engages your audience. People give your story emotions and feelings. And stories are just fun to tell, especially with the talented craftspeople we have on our team. (With the Emmys to prove it.)
Sure we could tell you we have the latest gizmos (we do) and that we work with global brands (we do that too). However at the end of the day, we tell stories that deliver powerful, honest, and undeniable moments that leave a lasting impression.
Every story. Every time.
We are storytellers
(It’s kind of our jam!)
Director-Storyteller
Scott Takeda
By training, Scott really should be working on the next generation Apple device or creating a data storage matrix for NASA. He intended to get an electrical engineering degree, but in his sophomore year, his brain circuits shorted after he got a C. (His first, ever.) So he switched majors to journalism and started his lifelong pursuit of telling stories.
After a decade in news, he opened Takeda Entertainment to expand his storytelling to clients, picking up six regional Emmys along the way.
Interesting trivia: If you’re a regular viewer of ‘General Hospital,’ you will see him pop up now and then as Judge Richard Lowe. (Cue faraway stare into the distance.)
Director/Producer/Writer
Lori Kay Allred
Lori is a gifted storyteller and has the hardware to prove it with a Daytime Emmy.
(She also has a shelf-full of regional Emmys in case you were wondering.)
She got her start in a tiny TV newsroom in Bismarck, North Dakota, then quickly moved into management roles at TV stations in Phoenix and Denver. She now tells stories for corporate clients and programmers like Food Network, DIY, Discovery and HGTV.
She is principal owner of Wine Dog Pictures. She loves wine and dogs (maybe you already guessed that) and recently added three hives of bees to her collection. (And yes, she does get stung. A lot. And yes, it does hurt.)
We’re also certified
(And in a good way!)
We are proud to be certified as a minority business enterprise (or MBE for short). It basically means if your company or organization benefits by hiring diverse companies, we fit the bill. We’ve been certified MBE since 2021.
Feel free to reach out to us, and we can show you our lovely paperwork from the National Minority Supplier Development Council. (Say that five times fast!)
