Interview with Dennis Goodman

Dennis Goodman is part of RiverRun Moving Pictures, based in Louisville, Kentucky, where he is a director for clients.

1. How did you get started?
-He said he started out in 1983 as a partner for producing a corporate video. Then he later did work as a director of photography. He had always had an interest in film, even though it wasn't as developed in the 1980's as it is now.

2. What kind of production does your company do?
-He said he mostly directs commercials as well as corporate spots. Even films for corporations. His company has a 35mm camera package and work on Avid to create spots for their clients.

3. What is your favorite job you have ever worked on in the business?
-He said his company once did a longform piece for a woodcutting company, which he enjoyed because they got to do shots in the outdoors rather than on a set, and the woodcutting provided for good footage.

4. Any tips you would give to a student who is interested in the business?
-He said if you care about money, it is difficult to prosper in the smaller markets. If money is important to you then go to the West Coast and California, because there is a lot of work out there.
