Everyone's a Judge. Here are some of ours!
Sally Bjornsen
Michael Bini—Partner at Kontent Partners
Michael is one of our favorite people to work with! A SallyReps friend and client for over 10+ years, our roster of talent has come to know and appreciate his skills, talent, humor, wisdom, grace, and profound respect for art and craft. Michael’s years of experience combined with his natural instincts, have made him one of the most sought-after producers and visual problem solvers today.
“I still love Polaroids. You can grab a candid moment or set up a meticulous shot with the most established talent, and even then, it’s a surprise. The image will be what it’ll be.”
—Michael Bini, Executive Producer/Kontent Partners
