Testimonials

"Thank you, Chris & Jorie! This is exactly the social media tool we were looking for to communicate to the community with video and audio. The whole experience was professional and very affordable. I look forward to working with you in the future again!" Kathleen S.

"When the Environmental Action Team of the League of Women Voters wanted to be able to preserve our Earth Day 2022 activities, we turned to Chris and Jorie of FC Public Media for help. What an amazing process it was from start to finished professional product! I highly recommend the people of FC Public Media when you want a first class experience in filming. Chris' professionalism was both calming and reassuring. He definitely knew what he was doing! Our members and the community are definitely appreciative of being able to relive and share our environmental efforts with others." Jane H.

"November of 2018, I had an idea for a program that gives the community an inside look at Theatre, showing behind the scenes and interviews. I took my idea to FC Public Media and with their assistance it became a reality. We produced 18 episodes before Covid shut down live theatre. I was so impressed with their dedication to helping other non-profits bring awareness to their causes, I took my volunteering to a new level by joining the board of directors. I am so proud of what we have accomplished through recent tough times, and I look forward to our future endeavors." Steve F.

"FC Public Media...has been tremendously helpful to both my ballet academy (Front Range Classical Ballet Academy) and also our small contemporary ballet company (Front Range Contemporary Ballet). From training on usage of video and audio equipment, and how to edit videos, to doing the photography and videography for our events, to assisting in multiple ways with putting together audio and visuals for our productions, FC Public Media has been an incredible partner to work with and has hugely elevated the quality of what we are able to provide to our customers. While being skilled professionals, they are also as accommodating as possible and always willing to help us find a way to achieve our goals in an affordable manner. Thank you, FC Public Media!!!" Front Range Classical Ballet

"I am a volunteer producer. FC Public Media staff are awesome to work with and very helpful with technical and production tips and have helped me realize my dream of producing a horror-hosted show of the old classic (non-gory) black and white horror movies. I encourage others to take production and editing classes and learn to make shows about what you're passionate about. Also, the new on-line submission sheets make submitting a show to the station even easier." Alexis H.

"This is one of my favorite communities in town. We produce edge cutting content that helps people achieve the success they deserve. By showcasing ideas through digital art, we turn visions into reality for the world to admire! Love y’all" Eric D.

"I help with the International Keyboard Odyssiad and Festival, a competition for pianists in Fort Collins, Colorado. Chris Winslow just sent me copies of the concerto finals from this year's competition, and I am stunned at how fabulous they are. The videos are beautifully made, showing close-ups and different angles..." Deb S.

"From beginning to end, working with Chris Winslow from FC Public Media has been easy and professional. He came through on everything he promised he would do for our non-profit music education and festival organization, Off the Hook Arts! Thank you for your great artistry and generosity. You enhanced our SummerFest immensely..." Jephta B.

"FC Public Media is an amazing resource. Chris has been invaluable in training the Trees, Water & People staff how to take higher quality video. His sessions are highly interactive and informative and they are tailored to the organization's experience and background. Additionally, Chris is always willing to answer questions..." Molly G.

"Collaborating with FC Public Media to create a promotional video for Fort Collins Rescue Mission was a fantastic experience. Chris was very professional throughout the entire process and helped us realize our creative vision. He did a great job capturing the essence of how we help people change their life..." Hannah B-S.

We will also facilitate better communication between non-profit organizations and the community they serve. We will energetically support all individuals as they explore their creativity through the media of public access television and website broadcasting. We will also serve as a balancing faction for the corporate presence in the media.
