David Story

“I’ve produced big shows all over the world for Discovery, Travel, Nat Geo, and the History Channel, and there’s no company I’d rather partner with than Stringbean Films. Mark Samuels and his amazing crew make it look easy, but that comes from intense preparation and legwork. Stringbean has a dizzyingly thorough knowledge of locations throughout Africa and beyond, and has made tight connections with authorities, tourism boards, property owners, and vendors even before you sign a contract with them. And once you go ahead with the production, Stringbean never fails to impress. They roll with the punches, anticipate impasses, attack problems, and always have the big picture in mind. When I know I’m working with Stringbean, I sleep a little easier knowing that production services are going to be fully taken care of.  Over multiple series produced under crazily severe conditions, Stringbean has always come through - and you can’t ask for much more than that. “
