Testimonials - Mike Donly

Well the type of work that Media Image and Dave Fortin do for the Diocese of Fall River is a number of video programs, one of them is Catholic Charities which does so much to assist the needy across the Diocese, literally over a 100,000 people go to our agencies. And it’s an effort that raises in excess of 4 million dollars a year. So there are so many people that are dependent upon this for their very existence, in many instances, food, clothing and shelter, that we really have to be concerned with who’s doing the work for us. And Dave’s been doing the work for us for a dozen years. So he really does a great job and he puts a lot of himself into it which is very, very significant to us.

In terms of Media Image, you know I would literally recommend them to anybody and I guess the reason is not only the quality of the product but it’s so much of us. It isn’t all about Media Image and what they want to do. It’s Dave really doing his best to accommodate what we see as our priorities and at the same time him being able to put his professional expertise into place.

And to be honest with you in the end it becomes a real cooperative venture where we’re able to create something that we’re very, very proud of at the same time Dave’s able to put his expertise into play for us.

Dave’s accessibility I think is a very significant thing. It seems that whenever we get in touch with him for anything that we might need even for another venture whether it’s for shots that we needed for different publications that had nothing to do with him. For advice on something that really had nothing to do with one of his projects, he’s always there to assist us. And the fact that he kind of takes it on as kind a personal project as well rather than just a job and something he’s being paid for so you get, I guess both pieces of it and the best part of two worlds. You get that fact that he’s very professional, he’s a perfectionist wants to make sure that it’s really really well done at the same time he takes a lot of personal interest in the success of our venture which I think shows up in the final product.
