To Whom It May Concern:

RE: Writer / Director Tane McClure

I had the pleasure of working as cinematographer for Tane McClure on the feature

film, "Seance Games—Metaxu", which we shot on a very tight budget, with limited

time. Thanks to Tane's clear vision and excellent communication skills, we created

award-winning material on a daily basis.

Tane is a decisive director and absolutely true to her word. Prior to filming, she

explained her process and during production, delivered on all her promises. “Séance Games” had some of the most enjoyable sets I have worked on, thanks to Tane.

Her strong filmmaking background, particularly her comprehensive knowledge of

acting, post-production and visual effects, were all crucial at each stage of filming.

Tane’s focused leadership kept things moving while getting all the great

performances and images, as well as audio, required for the movie.

We spent many weeks in pre-production planning how to use our time most

effectively. Tane ensured days kept to a reasonable ten hours, which meant our cast

and crew were well-rested, stayed safe, and at a creative peak every we rolled.

During postproduction, we continued to work together, collaborating on color

correction and several of the films' many visual effects, ensuring that Seance Games

was the best we could make it. The result is a fun horror movie that we are very

proud of, and which has gone on to win multiple awards and now has distribution.

Keith Jefferies,

To whom it may concern,

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Tane McClure for any and all production needs. I have had the good fortune of working with Ms. McClure for approximately 14 years. In that time, Ms. McClure has produced and directed over 100 projects of varying lengths (3-15 second social media spots, an award winning short film, several 4 hour informational, educational courses).

With pre-production, Ms. McClure has been highly professional. She has helped the production team brainstorm on how to get projects done on time and on budget. On occasion, Ms. McClure has helped us overcome some

unexpected issues with logistics and talent. She has been able to call on connections to get our team access to talent, locations, and equipment that helped us overcome problems and made our projects better than we

expected and budgeted for.

During production, Ms. McClure runs a tight, respectful, and organized set. She is able to keep everyone on schedule and manage multiple crews. Ms. McClure has been able to get the scripted material filmed and to also get us bonus material that we ended up using for the original project, trailers, or social media marketing.

Finally, in post-production Ms. McClure has been essential getting what was filmed completely edited and finalized to help us realize the vision we had for the project.

Ms. McClure has been essential in getting a multitude of projects completed better than we originally thought possible. When we need future projects, we will look to work with Ms. McClure. It is with great pleasure that I

recommend her for your production needs.

Feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this recommendation on behalf of Tane McClure. I have known and worked with Tane since 1988.

We met auditioning for an all-female band and have worked together creatively ever since. She has filmed, produced and edited my music videos and together we are in post-production of our film Voyager 2150.

Tane has always been fair and easy to work with. I consider her a mentor with her vast amount of experience as a songwriter, actor and filmmaker. She does it ALL. In the course of all these years I can attest to her professionalism, work ethic and artistry. I would not be where I am today without Tane McClure.

Sincerely,

Nisha Catron
