Testimonials
“Having to do remote producing/directing is hard...very hard. But working with Mikon on the BBC project it became clear very quickly he was going to make the process smooth, easy and above all culminating in outstanding results. I have no hesitation in recommending Mikon and only hope in the future I can work with him again, this time in person.”
“The director and the producer were from Japan therefore the language being used on the set was mixed with Japanese and English. Even though, we didn’t feel any language barrier with him and his crew.
He’s always listening and understanding what the director would like to capture and come up with the best solution possible.
He brings a deep understanding narrative, pacing, and visual composition.
We’d love to work with him again soon.”
“Mikon Haaksman is the truest kind of professional. He is a passionate master of his craft. When he captures an image, whether video or still photography, he captures it completely. Never flat or absent of feeling, his work tells stories and articulates essence. Video and images communicate emotion that draw the viewer into an experience and a fully-rounded understanding and appreciation for the intended message.”
“Mikon came through for us on a last-minute, documentary shoot in very remote Texas. He is experienced, communicative, and patient. We would love to work with him again!”
