tony gorkiewicz
PRESIDENT/CEO/INNOVATOR OF CREATIVE IDEAS, Tony started the company in 1994 after working for CNN. The company began as AMERA film and video and shortly after producing numerous corporate videos Tony was asked on several occasions to produce Bar Mitzvah skit videos and Cinematic style Wedding videos. Within a year word of mouth spread and TONE creative Video was born. 13 years later Tony is still producing the best videos in the tri-county area. Being that it is our 13th year, our "Bar Mitzvah" year, Tony and James have decided to give $100.00 of our profits to a charity called JARC.
Besides Tony's roll as President, he can usually be found in the mix of it all. If he's not shooting for NFL films or EXTRA-TV you can find him shooting a skit video for a Bar Mitzvah, "it's the closest thing to producing a Hollywood movie", Tony says. Tony graduated from Ferris University with a Bachelors of Science in Television Productions.
