Client Testimonial
"We contracted Matt Abeler to edit multiple video projects for the alumni department at the University of Northwestern. Matt has a keen interest in capturing the stories we wanted to tell and often uncovered parts of the stories we didn't see. We are especially pleased as some of these video stories were of elderly alumni who have passed now and we have their stories secured for future generations."
