OUR PEOPLE
SHANE REITZAMMER
CEO & Film Director
SHANE REITZAMMER
Shane is an award-winning commercial writer, director, and Emmy-nominated producer—oh, and a certified workaholic. His day usually kicks off with 70+ to-dos, back-to-back meetings, and at least 20 emails he needs to send. No matter how full the day gets, he tackles priorities head-on and is always focused on what’s next. The wild part? By the end of the day, the list is somehow even longer.
JOEY NICOTRA
Cinematographer
JOEY NICOTRA
After attending film school at the University of North Texas, Joey went on to focus primarily on Director of Photography work where he has shot thousands of client videos, national broadcast commercials, television shows, music videos, documentary work, and most notably his first feature film. Known for his critical thinking on tackling stressful situations, he’s also the guy who jumped off an 80-foot bridge into water of questionable depth. Just another day in the life of Joey.
CHRISTINA FLYGSTAD

CHRISTINA FLYGSTAD

DAN VANDIVER
Producer
DAN VANDIVER
Dan’s journey to becoming a producer at CinemaStory included four years in New York City, where he worked in film and television, wrapping up with HBO's remake of Scenes from a Marriage. His daily ritual includes sifting through his junk mail folder because he’s convinced his inbox is plotting against him. Around the office, he is best known for his inability to digest gluten and dairy, along with his belief that everything can be done in iMovie—don’t worry, our editors disagree.
