Coco Mills | PRODUCER
SPREADSHEET, POSTY, SPREADSHEET, CALENDAR.
Literally, her life. She manages, discusses, tweaks, and re-writes budgets and creative briefs all day, every day. All while adding her sense of humor to and participating in our corporate culture.
Courtney lives in Stokesdale, NC with her husband Nate, daughter Annabelle, son Russ and two dogs Rambo & Wexford.
Bill Lusk | DIRECTOR
99 PROBLEMS BUT A PRODUCTION HITCH AIN’T ONE.
Bill is in a continuous cycle of problem-solving. His love for merging technical and art is so great that he refuses to settle for an inferior solution. Which is a big plus on productions. He has immersed himself in motion and still photography for nearly 30 years.
While he works for e.cm as a DP, Bill primarily works as a Director and Photographer at Bill Lusk Studio.
Bill lives in Greensboro, NC with his wife, Sissy, and dogs, Vinny and Poppy Margaux.
Josh Brown | MOTION & STILLS
THIS GUY IS FUNNY. SERIOUSLY, HE’S TOTALLY FUNNY… REALLY.
Everyone who knows JB knows he is a storyteller. Like, he can’t get through the hour without relating some recent experience. He’s completely full of life. And, a passionate traveler. At work you’ll find him mixing his personality with his shooting skills to suit the needs of corporate and ecom clients.
A native of South Carolina, JB currently lives in Greensboro, NC with his wife, Brittany, daughter, Poppy and fluffy dog, Molly. But, let him tell you about South Carolina…..
Erin Villareal | SR VISUALS & DESIGN LEAD
QUEEN ELIZABETH LEVEL HAT COLLECTION.
Not really. But, talk about someone who can wear a lot of hats around our offices. Erin is a classically-trained art director who can also do things like retouch & edit, scout locations, even PA. Erin has rich social media knowledge, is a good problem solver, understands how to build a mechanical and printing processes, and has infectious enthusiasm for all of our projects.

Brennen Lieske | MULTIMEDIA ARTIST
MUL. TI. MEDIA.
You’ve heard of “jack of all trades, master of none”? Think, again. Brennen draws storyboards, paints signage, edits film, builds sets, designs, illustrates- old school or digital, shoots…. you get it. Also, he’s a bodybuilder.
A native North Carolinian, Brennen currently lives and works out in downtown Greensboro, NC.
Rob Reiser | GRAPHICS / FX
SCIENCE. MUSIC. DRAWING. CHOOSE ANY THREE.
That’s what you get with Rob. Throw software at him: he figures out how it works. Need audio composed: he’s your man; and, can play all the instruments. Is it simpler to just go old-school and draw it? He can. We can’t do this thing without him.
Rob lives in Greensboro, NC with his wife, Val. He has a couple of kids who are, guess what? Completely talented just like their Dad.
Jesse Knight | MOTION & STILLS
THIS WINNER TAKES ALL
Don’t go to filmmaking trivia night unless you’re on J’s team. You will lose. He will claim all the pitchers of beer and leave you alone and thirsty. Kidding about that last part because, in fact, Jesse is a calm force that always takes time to be interested in the people around him making for some nice days on set. He has an acute grasp on the filmmaking process and loves process and gear.
After spending time directing and DP’ing around indie films Jesse ultimately joined our photo & video departments. From Brasstown, NC, he currently lives in Greensboro, NC with his wife, Lee, and cats Loki, Butterbean, and Trouble.
Ruth Anne Ervin | EDITOR
FAST AND CURIOUS
…she edits like she drives. Ruth Anne is often first across the deadline. And, she has a keen inquisitiveness around mastering software hence, she drifts between photoshop, premiere pro, after effects and cinema 4D effortlessly. She’s also a bodybuilder. Cars and muscle, hmmmm…
Ruth Anne hails from Morganton, NC but currently lives in Greensboro, NC with her new Subaru BRZ.
Hunter Evans | CREATIVE COORDINATOR
STRUM. TAP TAP TAP. STRUM STRUM. ((d[-_-]b))
Some weeks traffic moves at an incredible pace through our office. Hunter takes charge of sorting tasks between us with shrewd awareness. Without missing a beat. Like some kind of metronome. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that he’s a trained sound engineer and a consummate musician. So, in addition to controlling our traffic he also pitches in as sound on some of our productions.
Hunter is a classical guitarist and also plays bass in an indie band (Barefoot Modern). He hails from and lives in Greensboro, NC.
Lauren Sparks | ASST CREATIVE COORDINATOR
A KEEPER
Lauren approached us for an internship while she was still studying filmmaking. We’re no dummies. When her internship ended, we asked Lauren to stay on full time with us to help keep our productions running smoothly. We access Lauren’s strong work ethic and genuinely sweet personality to meet deadlines and keep clients in good moods.
Lauren grew up nearby and still lives in Kernersville, NC.
