What clients say about Larry Kasanoff

"I’ve had the opportunity to work with Mr. Kasanoff over the last 5 years on several projects, including both corporate-level and theatrical releases. He brought a critical level of experience and knowledge, as well as creativity to address our challenges. His pioneering work in location-based entertainment, coupled with industry-recognized innovation in CGI, enabled him to deliver a first-of-its-kind virtual-reality enterprise experience for Microsoft customers around the world. When I had the pleasure to support his production of Bobbleheads: The Movie, he was always willing to try new technologies and mechanisms for animation, rendering, and remote contribution, once again proving his approach to global content development is the path to the future. I’m excited to see what he does next!" Joel Sloss (Consulting/Freelance: compliance governance in M&E)
