Cirinelli Productions

I fell in love with video production at an early age...

I graduated from high school in 1982 and, unsure of my career path, my counselor at Pasadena City College suggested a Career and Personality Test. The results were interesting - the first recommendation was a career in Law Enforcement (not for me) and the second was in Television and Media Production (perfect!).

I immediately enrolled in PCC's Television and Media Production program. I knew that I found the perfect career for me!

A friend of mine was working at a boutique corporate television production facility in Burbank, California and he helped me get my first job in the business (Thank You, Chris!). I started out cleaning the studio, maintaining the tape library, etc.

I loved the business so much that I quickly moved my way up as Camera Operator, Chyron Operator, Director, Producer, Online Editor and Operations Manager.

Armed with substantial knowledge and an entrepreneurial spirit, I ventured out in 1992 and created Cirinelli Productions.

I began drawing in major corporate clients and produced award-winning work for America West Airlines, Coca-Cola, Disney, Experian, Fisher-Price, Harley Davidson, Mattel, NASCAR, Nissan, Panasonic, Toshiba and Westin Hotels.

In 1999, STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, was just opening and needed to create cutting edge video entertainment. I was hired as Video Production Manager and, for four years, produced the in-arena entertainment for sold-out audiences.

I had the privilege to produce videos for prominent names like Celine Dion, Dave Matthews Band, Eminem, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Democratic National Convention, GRAMMY Awards. Lakers, Clippers, Kings, Galaxy, Avengers, NHL All-Star Games, Women's Tennis Association and US Figure Skating.

Missing corporate client interaction, I left STAPLES Center in 2003 and re-established Cirinelli Productions - this time, armed with an arsenal of sports and entertainment experience.

I am living my dream of being in the best profession in the world combined with working with the most interesting and talented people I know. I learn something new every day and I am truly grateful.
