"Hemstock Films is one of, if not the best companies I have had the pleasure of working with. Mark and his team filmed my bands music video “Prisoner of Time”. The experience was nothing short of amazing and the final product speaks for itself. He brought our ideas to life and took the time to plan and take care of us with detailed conversation and updates every step of the way. He made everyone who was being filmed as comfortable as possible which helped deliver the best product possible. I will be using Hemstock Films for all of my future productions, not only for their attention to detail and ability, but because Mark and his team are good genuine people."

"By far one of the greatest music video directors in the city! As an artist, I felt like Mark Hemstock really cared about the message I wanted to portray. He and his team worked very hard to find the right location that would work harmoniously with the music, costumes, and artwork. Even though it was a project that was over my head, I always felt comfortable and confident that he would make it awesome! Mark works with some of the most talented and good-hearted people I have met here. I have worked with others since, and have yet to encounter a better music video director. As a musician it's really important to me that I feel connected to the visuals I'm sharing. When collaborating with Hemstock Films, I always felt like I was watching the things I felt in my heart get transformed into reality. It was a truly magnificent experience that I wouldn't trade for anything!!! I recommend them far and wide. Working with Mark and his team has been one of the best and most fulfilling experiences of my life. Thank you guys!"

"Hemstock Films is awesome...!! Mark's team is very dedicated and professional and very pleasant to work with, and they deliver beautiful results...! I am a singer-songwriter and two years ago I brought my music to Hemstock Films to make my music video. I was nervous first but they cared about my thoughts and opinion and always tried to find the best solution. The preparation stage was very detail-oriented and well-planned (storyboarding, location scouting and preps, they let you know everything ahead of time), and they have found me the best actor for my video...! On the days of shooting, Mark's team was so focused and I was amazed and impressed at their professional dedication...! The finished video was polished and perfect, it made me happy and I love how I looked in the video :D Looking forward to work with them again!"
