What people are saying:

"John approaches directing from DP and acting backgrounds so he is very well grounded on both aspects that a Director needs command of ... the actors and the technical vision. He is hands on with his actors and knows exactly what he wants. He is able to communicate his expectations but allows actors the freedom to express their own creative vision. This perfect balance allows us to get through scenes that might take inferior directors all day to shoot without sacrificing enough viable choices for the editor. On the technical side, you're not going to find someone who frames a shot better than John. His hands on filming style allows you to cut out the middleman (in this case, paying someone else to be DP) and saves a ton of time you would have to communicate to someone else about framing. And I have yet to find some technical aspect of filming that John either doesn't already know or can't find out in a short period of time."

“John Foutz has been an invaluable mentor to me. He is a dedicated actor, writer, and director. He is amazing with 3D animation and CG effects. Foutz Studios is an incredible company to work for and with. I look forward to seeing more films and projects come from this talented production company. (And hopefully being a part of them.)”
