Here is what others are saying about Heidi's work
Intstrux
Fantastic! Thanks so much Heidi! You and your team are great!
Working with Heidi and Team was a breath of fresh air. Their professionalism, timely delivery and consistency were brought to the table throughout our project.
Heidi was able to grasp the tone and message of the content with little-to-no direction – a rare ability in this day and age.
And They Flew Productions is a combination of two exceptional talents that delivers a flawless product.

Heidi, you struck just the perfect chord of sincerity, yearning and openness I always envisioned in Tamar, and Wayne, you were dead on in your interpretation of Bud as seductively present, genuinely pursuing, and then later emotionally elusive, subtly sadistic, and finally determinedly absent.
That was a lot of emotional ground to cover.
I send you both bouquets of kudos and buckets of thanks.
