Available to hire
Hi, I’m Randall A. Schafer. I’ve spent over 40 years in Production and Post-Production, managing everything from concept to final delivery. I thrive on turning creative ideas into polished video content, leading multi-camera shoots, and coordinating cross-functional teams to meet tight deadlines.
Based in the U.S. with international experience in the Netherlands, I’ve produced tours, events, and brand media for high-profile clients. I’m passionate about storytelling, technical excellence, and building collaborative partnerships that bring ideas to life.
