“We have worked with Hlee for a couple of years now on a recurring project and it has been amazing. Hlee is connected to the community and does a great job linking us with a wide variety of perspectives and artists. She is wonderful when interacting with our teen interns, and her energy and knowledge is infectious among the teens building excitement and a deep level of engagement with them on the project, and helping connect them to the community at large. Hlee is super professional and a joy to work with, she really brings out the best in people. I'm so happy to get the opportunity to work with her.” – David Woods, Urban Roots

I look forward to all our projects together.” - Jayne Stauffer, Retired Director of Visual Communications, St. Catherine University

"We had nothing but excellent experiences working with Hlee! We contracted her to develop a series of short vignettes on Minnesota’s Federally Qualified Health Centers and the people we work with and serve. From the get-go, Hlee has been amazing to work with! She accommodated all of our many (last minute) changes and edits promptly with grace. Hlee not only handled production, but she played a pivotal role in helping us develop and make our wild ideas reality. She perfectly captured our vision. Her portrayal of the stories and experiences already within our health centers’ essence is beautiful.” - Jin Lee Johnson, Health Policy Specialist, Minnesota Association of Community Health Centers

“I had the pleasure of working with Hlee Lee when we contracted her services for the ‘Minnesota Rising 2015 Un/Conference: The Future In the Form of a Question.’ She produced two wonderful videos for us; the first was our keynote speaker’s address, and the second a short video depicting our network and the ways it works to develop the collective capacity of emerging leaders to impact Minnesota’s future. Hlee was a joy to work with through each aspect of the project: from concept development to filming the event and interviews to editing the footage and final production. She was highly communicative, flexible to our timeline needs, and provided helpful insight and context as we moved through the process. It was her combination of technical savvy and relationship skills that made for such an easy partnership and valuable resulting products. I look forward to working with Hlee again soon!” – Diane Tran, Minnesota Rising

“Hlee has helped our 42-year-old nonprofit with marketing our programs and services. Because of the sensitive nature of our Mission and specific clientele, Hlee was incredibly respectful, used complete discretion and provided a very comfortable and gentle approach when taping our clients. The end product was beautifully produced, touching and has proved to be very valuable as we share it with our existing donors and affiliates across the country; it’s working so well that we are now set up to market to future donors for months to come.”  – Elizabeth Stannard, HEART Inc.

“I feel very fortunate to have found Hlee Lee when I was searching for someone to assist me on two shoots I had in Minneapolis earlier this year. Hlee is a very talented film-maker in her own right and she brings her expertise and passion to my productions as well. For shoots I had at General Mills and at Target HQ’s, she had a great rapport with the executives and made them feel very comfortable as she conducted the interviews. She relieved me of a lot of the coaching I usually have to do and I was able to focus on the filming and audio. At the same time, she also has a very good eye for detail and we worked together as a team on these first two shoots as if we have worked together for a very long time.

As my production partner, Hlee displayed high professionalism and integrity and I would highly recommend her as a producer on a project, much less in any support position.” – Brad Ruekberg, Channel Three Productions

“I worked with Hlee on a video shoot and was impressed with her skills! She was friendly, professional, and passionate all while making a video for a great cause. I look forward to working with her in the future!” – Kimberly Sun,  model/actress

“Hlee produced a number of programs for our MN Productions department while we were at Twin Cities Public Television. A couple programs that I thought were particularly terrific: Sexy without Sex, Getting There, and Love of Car. Hlee had a can do attitude, positive storytelling process, and calm demeanor that got the job done right. I always appreciated those attributes about her.” – Teresina Evans, Twin Cities Public Television
