Lead by founder Patsy Northcutt, Northcutt Productions is a team of seasoned filmmakers, artists and technicians. We assemble custom crews for each project.
Please have a look at our DEMO REEL and check our NEWS to view our most recent work.
PRINCIPAL:
Patsy Northcutt: Producer / Director / Editor
Patsy's love of filmmaking is coupled with her passion, creativity and commitment to producing stories that highlight a positive and sustainable future. Based in the San Francisco bay area, she has over 25 years experience as a producer, director and editor. The programs that she has worked on focus on creating cultural and environmental awareness in areas such as green building, alternative transportation, species extinction, solutions for the future, green plans, criminal and social justice, green(ing) business and teen pregnancy. She directed and produced all of the projects on this website, except where noted, and did much of the editing.
Northcutt started making slapstick comedy movies with friends as a teenager and launched Northcutt Productions at age 20. She has combined her passion for filmmaking with her profound desire to help create the cultural shift toward environmental restoration and social justice. Her academic credentials include an MA in Culture, Ecology and Sustainable Communities from New College, Santa Rosa; a BA in Business Economics from University of California, Santa Barbara and completion of the Stanford University Mass Media Institute program in Documentary Film Production.
CORE TEAM:
Adam Loften: Editor / Creative Direction / IT Support
Adam has been a core partner on a variety of Northcutt Productions over many years and is an absolute rock star. He is a bright shining light in the Universe and brings his creativity and love of life to the projects of Northcutt Productions and to everything he touches.
Rivkah Beth Medow: Producer
Rivkah lights up rooms with her creativity, grace and charm. She has worked on a number of Northcutt projects and co-produced both of our Pachamama Alliance video series, leading an extensive global visual acquisitions process and collaborating with dozens of independent filmmakers to gather images from around the planet. Rivkah recently directed and produced her own film, "Sons of a Gun", that premiered at SXSW in 2009.
Greg O'Toole: Editor
Greg is a wonderful editor, strong storyteller, imaginative, knowledgeabe and passionate about the issues of our day. He has worked on a variety of Northcutt Productions. Greg recently directed, edited and shot his own film, "Sons of a Gun", that premiered at SXSW in 2009; edited "The Two Excobars", Cannes 2010 official selection; and edited "A Simple Question", which won the "Spirit of Activism" award at Wild and Scenic, 2010. The most import thing to know about Greg is that he surfs.
Mike Northcutt: Original Music
Mike Northcutt (Patsy's brother), composed, performed and produced most of the music for the programs on this web site. Mike shares Patsy's deep commitment to quality and client satisfaction. He is a guitarist/singer/songwriter and has been performing live rock and roll for over 16 years. He understands content development issues and has an uncanny ability to create exactly to our client's tastes. You can sample his music here, or visit his website.
Mark Woloschuck: Motion Graphic Design
Mark does the motion graphic design for most of our projects. He is fantastic designer and animator. He did some of our Pachamama Alliance animations; the Superpower Roll and WiserEarth animations that we created for Paul Hawken; the Green Cross Awards intros; the Northcutt and Extreme Learning logo animations; and more. Put a Canadian in San Francisco and you have Mark. Very cool.
Michelle Grenier: Footage Research, Associate Producer and Transcription
Michelle has worked on a variety of Northcutt Productions over the past few years and does a great job with everything she touches. Michelle is constantly developing her Spiritual side as well as her craft and brings with her an uncanny sense of flow and synchronicity. She plays a key support role and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Jørgen Vos: Business Advisor
Jørgen has an MBA in Sustainable Management from the Presidio School of Management, San Francisco, and has worked for a variety of environmental organizations and businesses. He gives guidance for the management of Northcutt Productions and to all Northcutt projects, and he provides ongoing tech support. Like Greg above, Jorgen is an avid surfer and brings the beauty and energy of the waves to Northcutt projects.
