My Philosophy of Technical Direction

David R. Steinmetz

David R. Steinmetz

I am very different in my approach to technical direction than a lot of my colleagues in the entertainment industry. Service... that is it, it is what it is all about.

Here at Fenix Scenic we specialize in taking your vision and making it a reality. Drawing on decades of experience, we will help you streamline your production process, avoid problems before they become reality, and make your production as stress free as possible. Taking the design and faithfully recreating it, solving problems on paper on the computer before they happen in real life.

Taking a project with hundreds of people involved, coordinating it, and making it all look easy... In short, creating the magic that makes the story and your event more than the sum of its parts. If you have ever been to a live performance and been so completely enthralled by the event that it gives you goose bumps, takes your breath away, makes you forget where you are for a while... or all of the above, then you know what I am talking about. More importantly, you know what our goal is.
