A Chicago native with an eye for detail and a lifelong passion for production, Ellen Schniepp is a seasoned producer based in Los Angeles. Her path in production has spanned daytime TV, network marketing, and emerging tech — including time at The Ellen DeGeneres Show and ABC Entertainment, where she sharpened her skills in fast-paced, high-profile environments.
Ellen later dove headfirst into the world of Virtual Reality, leading the charge on immersive 360° training content for major enterprise clients like Walmart and Amazon. With over five years producing at the intersection of creativity and tech, she brings a unique blend of logistical finesse and big-picture vision to every project.
When she’s not on set or knee-deep in a timeline, you can find her hanging with her two cats, dancing with friends, or hopping on a plane to her next adventure.
A proud Ohio native with an enduring love for storytelling and smooth operations, Joseph Neuman is a versatile Los Angeles-based production professional. His journey has been a hands-on ascent through the fabric of filmmaking—gaining invaluable experience across departments, from the intricacies of Camera and Grip to the creative demands of Art, and the logistical precision of Assistant Directing. This comprehensive background has shaped his ability to connect and communicate effectively across all departments.
Driven by a solution-oriented mindset, Joseph consistently approaches challenges with pragmatism and creativity. While his expertise spans digital content, social media, and news production, he’s recently specialized in the cutting-edge realm of Virtual Reality training—navigating complex technical landscapes while keeping the focus on impact, storytelling, and efficient workflows.
When he’s off the clock, you can often find Joseph surfing, savoring a well-brewed cup of coffee, or getting lost in museums.
