Who am I?

I’m Seth Goldin, and I’ve been working in technology, post-production, and workflow for over a decade, at Freethink and Big Think. To me, all filmmaking and video production is problem-solving: the fundamental problem you have as a filmmaker is that your film doesn’t yet exist. You must problem-solve it into existence. To that end, I’m obsessed with making sure that processes adhere to best practices: minding the important technical details that, if ignored, would spiral into compounding headaches. An ounce of prevention is worth much more than a pound of cure.
