Testimonials

Working with Lionel on my College Application Video has been amazing. He provided wonderful feedback, tips, brainstorming, and filming advice while allowing me to fulfill my vision. My video would not have turned out how it did if it were not for Lionel's expertise. I would highly recommend working with him.

With the CAV, I've appreciated the opportunity to help me present my unique qualities to colleges, showcasing my humanity and character effectively. The one-on-one video meetings were incredibly helpful as we navigated through the entire creative process together, brainstorming ideas and refining them to highlight my strengths. I would highly recommend Lionel to other families! His dedication and openness to the process, paired with his willingness to engage in brainstorming sessions, make him an ideal for helping achieve success in video applications. His receptiveness and proactive approach made our collaboration smooth and productive throughout, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him 😊.

I would like to thank Lionel for working with Aicha to create a beautiful and creative video she submitted to colleges. Everyone who has seen it loves it, including her school counselors! Aicha is very happy with her responses and is excited about the next chapter. We really appreciated Lionel’s patience, dedication, and guidance - which she will greatly benefit from in the future. It was a great experience for both of us and a privilege to work with an outstanding international director. I would highly recommend Lionel to other families and hope to work with him again in the future.

I appreciated Lionel’s attention to detail. There are things I would not have caught in my final product if I didn't have his guidance. I also appreciated the feedback he gave me and how he helped me trim down my script. It can be difficult to organize thoughts in a limited timeframe, so it's very helpful to know what to include and not to include with guidance. I would highly recommend Lionel to other students. 

Anika G - Austin, TX

Thank you for helping Anika build a crisp and impactful video! She just showed it to me and it brought me to tears! It is profound on multiple levels. Regardless of her admission decisions (she already has been admitted to some very good programs), this whole additional process of reflection and framing is very helpful. Being able to capture all this in 2 minutes is not trivial at all. I loved all of it. The tone, the pace, the message.
