DVD format (820 N. Orleans St., #402, Chicago,

Kates Smiles who will see that the creative
teams have access to the material.

E. Morris Communications likes to support
minority suppliers, so this is a first consideration.
Depending on the type of project involved,
different skills are looked at. If it is a project
where the emphasis is on talent, then a director
who shows that ability in their reel would be the
first option.
��
�� An agency always
looks to first deliver the project that was sold,
however, good creative always continues to
grow. Therefore, an agency is always looking
for a partner who can be a team player, but also
bring something new to the party if it enhances
the idea.
��
�� The strongest
element of the Chicago production community
continues to be post-production – both editors
and sound engineers. There are also some
excellent graphics facilities available.
��
��
�� Much has been discussed on
this subject for many years. Chicago has always
been able to offer a better financial opportunity
for production as opposed to New York or
L.A., so this area needs to continue to stay
competitive.
But talent is the key thing that any agency
looks for on any level. If you can attract talented
people to the Chicago area, then you can be as
competitive as anyone. Directors such as Bob
Ebel, Joe Sedelmaier and John Komnenich all
proved that it didn’t matter where they were
located. The same has been true for many of the
post-production and music houses in Chicago.
It’s like the phrase from “Field of Dreams”: “If
you build it, they will come.”
