QUOTES FROM ACTORS/ACTRESSESS ABOUT WORKING WITH NFERNO PRODUCTIONS

“I have been fortunate to work with some great directors. Christopher Nolen is one of
them. His productions are as professional as any film I've worked on.” -Cynda Williams

“It has been an honor to work with Mr. Christopher Nolen on the film "72 Hours"
because of the fact he is one of the most talented directors and extremely professional
producers I have worked within the entertainment industry.” -Erica Hubbard

“I had the opportunity to work with Christopher this past year and I can honestly say it
was a pleasure. Not only is he and his crew professional but they're also respectful and
kind. I enjoyed myself and hope to work with him again. I would highly recommend
him to any of my actor friends.” -Tammy Townsend

“I love working with Christopher Nolen because he puts the artists and the artistry first.
Working as the lead in his feature film "72 Hours" was, without a doubt and in all
aspects, one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had on any set.” -Timon Kyle
Durrett

“I really respect and appreciate you as a filmmaker and a person. You really operate
with high integrity and create a win-win for everyone who works with you. You are fair
and generous... You are a rare breed in this business...” -Caryn Ward Ross

“Hey there, to all concerned I Love Chis Nolen! He works well with Actors & Producers.
He is most professional.” -Best, Tangi Miller

​

You are, by far, one of the best directors I've had the pleasure to work with, and I've
worked with many. You make it easy for an actor to be on your set, logistically and
creatively, and that's key in being able to tell a great story. I appreciated the tone of
collaboration and graciousness in our space, yet firmness in setting the bar of
expectations. This has been one of the most professionally executed indie productions
that I've worked on, and I'd love to work with you again. Your crew... They're top-notch
-- from the drivers who picked us up every day to your AD's and operators -- so
professional and affable. I know that with independent budgets, often we must rely on
our friends to carry out production duties, and sometimes, our friends may not carry out
those duties as professionally as a direct-hire might; but if you did rely on your friends,
you must pat them on the back for being so hard-working and supportive of the vision
of this film. Those little daily interactions are what can make or break an experience for
an actor, and I definitely enjoyed your people. Congratulations on a picture wrap for
"For the Love of Christmas". You should be proud. Cheers!” -Noree Victoria

“Working with Christopher Nolen was an extremely pleasurable experience. He lets us
be creative with our acting choices he showers us with gift baskets. Everyone on his
team was super nice and treated me like they were my southern aunties. Not only were
they professional, but they went out of their way to make sure my vegetarian needs
were met, and even more importantly, I was paid before we finished shooting! What's
not to love?” -Tanjareen Thomas

 
“Christopher does an excellent job of assembling top-notch talent and crew to bring
stories to life. Additionally, he treats talent exceptionally well and creates a stress-free,
well run set to work on.” -Clint Lewis

“Working with Christopher Nolen has truly been a highlight in my professional acting
career. Chris has an eye for talent. I was treated like an A-lister. He took his time to
make sure I knew exactly what he needed. He also made certain I had everything I
needed. And more importantly, I was paid...on time!” -Thea Camara #Faith

“Christopher Nolen is a consummate filmmaker...he is an actor's director and knows
how to bring the best out of his talent and his production crew. You always know you're
going to be working in a positive and professional environment when you walk onto an
Nferno Productions set.” -Dave Leonard

“Christopher is a joy to work with! He allows his actors to do their job. He has great
vision and he runs a great set. One of the best sets and directors I’ve ever worked with.
I look forward to working with him again soon.”-Robin Givens

“Christopher has great vision and direction. He knows what he wants and he also
collaborates with his actors as well. He knows how to communicate with actors
tremendously. I will always work with Chris because I trust him and his vision.”-Harry J.
Lennix.
