"Abby
Sternberg, LCSW," became "Abby Sternberg, video producer," by
combining my social work values and skills, with my interest in
prevention and the opportunity to help people strengthen their
coping and problem-solving skills. The University of Chicago
School of Social Service Administration (1968) prepared me for a
varied mental health career in NY, NJ, Missouri and then, in
1977, to Mt. Vernon Center for Community Mental Health in
Virginia. I was interested in reaching a broader community than
I could in person, providing parenting and life transition
classes, and when Fairfax Public Access, Channel 10, opened in
1983, I was in the second class. My initial goal of producing
educational and prevention oriented mental health, health and
"people" programs, expanded to music, dance and theater
programming,.
Channel 10 and
my skills and interest in helping people celebrate their lives
and tell their stories on video led to my video production
business(1992), in response to being asked to video special
events, training and performances. When I left Mt. Vernon in
1986 for private practice in Burke, VA, I continued my
volunteer Channel 10 activities. I decided to leave private
practice for full-time video production with my production
company, Media Masters, Inc.in 2003.
The use of video in everyday life, has
opened up a whole world of possibilities to reach people and I
wanted to combine my social work and video production skills to
create video for web, DVD and digital distribution.
Besides marketing and promotional
videos, I can produce training and fund-raising videos, personal
living history videos, tribute, retirement, memorial and special
event videos.
There are
unlimited possibilities to utilize video with your agency, your
clients and your family and friends, and I look forward to
working with you-as a consultant or video producer.
