Guy tucker
SEATTLE
Guy provides straightforward, inventive strategies that move the needle on business objectives. His passion for his craft and steadiness in his approach have earned the trust of high-profile clients around the globe. Besides being CEO and owner of Handcuffed Creative, he wears the hats of producer, director, cinematographer, editor and occasional livestock wrangler—ask him about that time in Burkina Faso. At home, Guy is generally found balancing one baby, two dogs, 12 bikes and a cup of joe—artfully, while conference calling.
Pierre Visser
AMSTERDAM
Pierre is that rare guy who always comes through—creatively, conceptually and relationally. For more than two decades, Pierre has thrived as a creative director, producer, cinematographer and editor, serving a wide range of international clients. A deep and abiding passion for his craft and for his hand-selected teams is estimable. In his day, Pierre was one of Amsterdam’s top DJs and today speaks 3.5 languages (English, Dutch, German, Frisien). Other undying loves include his two children and one inquisitive Labrador puppy.
DESMOND ROBERTS
NEW DELHI
Desmond was well on his way to becoming an accountant when he decided to give it all up and follow his passion—becoming an accomplished cinematographer. That was over 20 years ago.
He’s since shot and produced multiple films, documentaries and corporate videos; winning awards and praise along the way. When not behind the lens of a camera or driving crews across the reaches of India, he’s most likely hanging out with his wife and cats in New Delhi, or enjoying experimenting with producing screen dance films.
CHRISTINA RUDDY
SAN FRANCISCO
Christina cut her writing and producing teeth deep within a Top 10 market newsroom. Since her broadcast journalism days, her incisive documentary work and corporate storytelling has brought her face-to-face with tigers in the Russian Far East, pumas in Yellowstone, and techies in Silicon Valley. She enjoys crafting messages for leading companies as it feeds her exploration of how humans, technology and the natural world blend and interact. Christina currently lives close to nature in a National Park with her husband, daughters and one fussy-fussy cat.
