"Patty Mooney is the best at all she does here in San Diego California. Simply the best in the west and a joy to work with.... Mark :)" - Crystal Pyramid Productions "Patty Mooney joined forces with Mark Schulze at Crystal Pyramid Productions in 1982. With a career now spanning over four decades, Patty’s multifaceted talents include: Producer, Editor, Sound Technician, Boom Pole Operator, Voice Over artist, Still Photographer, Teleprompter Operator, Writer, and Talent.

"Hey! My name is Max Pava and I am a Creative Producer. I love good ideas, humans, and spreadsheets.
