Musician and painter, Randall Vemer, has once again expanded his talent pool; this time into filmmaking.
In a nearly 12-minute biographical documentary, Vemer reveals what happened when his ability to play his beloved viola was taken away.
The film is filled with striking portraits of the people and instruments by which he's been surrounded for much of his life. And always the educator, the hauntingly lovely music is scored and timed, not only to enhance the viewer's enjoyment of Vemer's classical style images but also to point out which instrument is highlighted within the rich and ethereal paintings.
Randall Vemer's musical bio-doc is a moving tribute to the creativity, discipline, and heart of this incredibly talented man.
If you need a pick-me-up, a gentle nudge in "the feels", or just a good old-fashioned American success story, you MUST watch this film.

Producer · Writer · Director · Editor · Collaborator · Problem Solver
I started my career in Los Angeles in 2004, producing video and film content. In 2010, I moved to Portland and have since worked as a video production coordinator, producer, writer, director, and editor. I have managed crews, budgets, schedules, and logistics for numerous ad campaigns, commercials, and music videos. I have worked closely with production teams to create video content for various clients including Nike, Weight Watchers, and Sokol Blosser. Much of my experience involves working with teams to move projects from concept to completion. Through this experience, I have developed an attention to detail, the ability to manage tight deadlines, and the people skills necessary to work with groups and individuals.
I am currently freelancing as a video producer, writer, director, and editor.

Narrative is essential. We live and connect through stories. A story has the power to influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions. The most valuable skill I have gained in my career is the ability to tell stories. I approach every project, big or small, with story in mind.
