Bill Cote Resume
Name Bill Cote
Title Director
Experience 25 Year(s)
Biography Have produced wide range of films and videos: from Network Television Specials, to weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and birthday celebrations. Earned a scholarship with photography to put myself through college. Married with a lovely ten year old daughter.
Speciality Excellent lighting skills, clever camera angles, good editing background allows me to shoot with the editing in mind. For example, I noticed a tiny model of my clients house in Sag Harbor during a recent wedding. I filmed the model and then the real house from the same angle. The film shows a dissolve from the model to the real one. They loved it. Having produced major television programs, i have a vision of the "whole production" and therefore can plan and shoot very effectively. I also am a warm people person and love to capture the feelings and emotions of the events I cover.
Education Clearwater High School, (Florida) St. Petersburg Junior College Florida State University, Received a BA degree in Philosophy, minor in Religion. Won all the student film festivals and earned my way with photography scholarship.
