ABOUT US
Over 25 Years of the Video Project

The Video Project was founded in 1983 by Oscar winning documentary filmmaker Vivienne Verdon-Roe (Women for America, For the World) and Oscar nominee Ian Thiermann (In the Nuclear Shadow). In 2000, the Video Project was acquired by Act Now Productions, a progressive media production company co-founded by former Sierra Club President, Adam Werbach. In 2007, The Video Project was acquired by San Mateo-based media company Specialty Studios, helmed by Steve Michelson, a fixture of film production and distribution in Northern California for over 30 years, and a pioneer in DVD authoring and technology.
