Wes Thomsen has a diverse background in visual media. His recent
documentary "Brethren" (2004), which he wrote, shot, edited, and
produced, won Best Feature (Audience Choice) at the SMMASH film
festival, two Telly awards, the People's Choice Award of Merit from the
NRB Television Committee, and had an award-winning premiere at the
Sabaoth music and film festival in Milan, Italy.
He edited his first aired program eighteen years ago and has since worked in many aspects of production from the Frontiers Communication Center in Brisbane, Australia where he was sent on assignment as a photographer into the Australian outback and Central India to four years as a Network Control Officer for US Satellite Broadcasting overseeing the broadcast stream of networks such as HBO, Showtime, Comedy Central and many pay per view events in a digital environment. This experience combined with several years as a computer programmer has given Wes insight into today's non linear, digital production environment.
His company, White Knuckle Media, leverages this experience in producing work for television, DVD, Internet, radio, and print deliverables. He has designed and managed many projects such as eEmbassy and The Reignmaker Project that integrated video and live speakers with web components and online communities. His hands on approach covers scripting, shooting, editing, and post as well as Internet development, interactivity, and data structure, orchestrating multimedia into one voice.
