Aaron Heck is President and founder of HeckArt Studios, a premiere feature film production company and branding agency based in Los Angeles, California. Heck produced his first feature film, Cheyenne, at age 23. He then put his talents to work in the advertising industry and built a number of strong brands, with particular successes in the competitive world of wine and spirits. Since founding HeckArt Studios in 1996, Heck has grown the company into an innovative and multi-award-winning agency, which specializes in brand ascension. From 1996 to 2001, Heck was also Director of Advertising and Promotions at F. Korbel and Bros., Inc., the largest and oldest producer of Méthode Champagne in the United States. In 2001, he was promoted to VP of Advertising, and oversaw Korbel Champagne, Korbel Brandy, Kenwood, Valley of the Moon and Lake Sonoma wineries, and launched the King’s Ransom, Madrone and Pinafarina wine brands. In 2008, Heck left F. Korbel and Bros. to focus on exclusively on HeckArt Studios. Over the preceding decade, Heck had established himself as an accomplished and in-demand still photographer and commercial director. His work in product and fashion photography and advertising led him back to feature film production and into cinematography. As a cinematographer, Heck sought out master directors of photography known for their skilled visual storytelling, and mentored under the likes of Gabriel Beristain, Adam Greenberg, and Vilmos Zsigmund, attaining his Master Class diploma in Budpest. HeckArt Studios is now a fully integrated production company, capable of taking any project, commercial, music video, or feature film through the creative development process, from initial concept all the way through to final delivery, including online color, and visual effects. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-exotic-car-podcast/support
