NARRATIVE
Austen doesn't do paint-by-numbers — he enhances the story and finds fresh, unexpected ways to make it shine. He's a superb editor and – even better – he's a true creative partner.
- Kevin Dunleavy, Creative Director (Geico, Lyft, Petsmart, Fender)
Austen is a triple-threat: creatively gifted, technically skilled, and a great guy. That's why we've worked together for over 20 years.
- Scott Rice, Emmy-Winning Director, Co-Professor with Matthew McConaughey
