Andrew can work well within existing systems, and offer valuable insights toward improving those systems. He’s also reliable and ethically minded.”

- Karen Carlson, Vice President , Tapestry International Productions

“Andrew has now worked for TPM Media in several capacities, first as a video production intern and more recently as a consultant building our video studio and sat uplink. Andrew is extremely capable, smart, works very hard and he’s always matched or exceeded my expectations in all the projects he’s done for us. I recommend him without reservation.”

- Josh Marshall, Editor & Publisher, TPM Media

“Andrew Hymas served as an intern at WNET for the Performance & Arts department from January – April 2010. During that period Andrew assisted with the Great Performances / SundayArts unit, screening footage, transcribing interviews, assisting with shoots both internally and on location, conducting research (where he showed an exceptional talent for writing), securing photo licenses and other administrative duties. Andrew was not only efficient and effective in his tasks, but pro-active in providing additional materials that could be of help to program producers. On shoots he was helpful and inquisitive without intruding into the process. We believe Andrew was an ideal intern and we wish him success in the future.”
