Vince Keala Lucero’s Experience

  • Creative Director / DP

    Co Creative Studios

    (Partnership; 1-10 employees; Broadcast Media industry)

    June 2007Present (2 years 6 months)

    Imagine a place, where the work you do, is the work you love. A job is just a job, but a Co Creative production is something different. It's a chance for friends to come together and create something beautiful. Where team members believe in the real support of a helping hand. Where success is linked with cooperation, culminating in the creation of harmonious design.

    While positive thinking is the norm, Co Creative understands Mr. Murphey and his ability to teach us new tricks of troubleshooting and hustle. We learn to honor the process.

    At Co Creative, we truly believe that there is somebody smarter then us, and that is all of us. No one person can whistle a symphony. These are the ideals by which we play.

    Call it a filmmaker's haven.
    Call it cinematic utopia.
    Call it...
    Co Creative

    Storytellers. That's what we are. As filmmakers we use the medium to weave a story. Your story. That's what makes us different. We see it as a chance to practice our passion. Find the elements that make a great story and capture it. Then use our skill to create real emotion through text, moving images and sound.

    Aloha Friday strives to embody the spirit of Aloha - warm and relaxed. We invite you to experience the difference.
