From the Editor in Chief

As editor in chief of The Independent Film & Video Monthly, a national magazine for indie filmmakers, I hired Dan at Lakeffekt to re-do the look of the magazine, top to bottom. We subsequently continued to work together for another 10 years. As the graphic designer for a monthly publication, Dan was always full of energy and fresh, new ideas, but at the same time he understood the meaning of a deadline –absolutely critical in the magazine world. Month after month, he was reliable, quick, and creative a combination that too often eludes designers. Although our collaboration pre-dates his work in video. Dan was always an enthusiastic film buff with a great critical eye, and avidly absorbed all the information in the magazine. I'm certain he's putting that use today with the same energy, creativity, and professionalism as he did at THE INDEPENDENT for so many years
