Reviews & Testimonials

  • "Michael at Kogent Studios brought the perfect balance of creative ideas and serving my vision. He literally saved our video shoot when my poor planning choose a space that did not look good. He found items nearby and created a beautiful and unique scene out of, literally, a pile of bicycles, shoes and books!! He has such a serving, humble heart. We are DEFINITELY working with him again!!"

    — Doc Harrill, CypherStyle - Education/Mission-Driven Organization (2026)

  • “Michael’s approach, patience, creativity, and professionalism consistently leads to an end product that myself and my team are very pleased with. Could not be more satisfied to leverage his work as we present our brand globally. Two years into multiple projects and I won’t consider working with anyone else.”

  • "We have used Kogent Studios for three years with our annual event, and we love working with Kogent Studios! They're so easy to communicate with-- they're just all-over great human beings who seem to care for the project with the same amount of care that we do. In terms of pricing, they've always worked with us to create a high quality project at a scale that works for our budget. As for the end products: It's a complicated event they cover-- there are many different speakers, different vendors, it's in two separate spaces so the lighting is different all over, and we've always had lovely, high quality photos and video. It's a pleasure to work with them, and we hope to continue to work with them on other projects in the future-- perhaps in the other media they are offering, such as podcast editing, courses, etc.!"

  • “As a videographer, Michael offers artistic talent matched with a clear passion for his work that's often hard to find... especially in the world of marketing agencies. Additionally, he cares deeply about the justice work at the root of our organization's mission, and that personal touch has been evident in his various projects capturing stories of our community."

  • "The best experience, and THE most beautiful content! I own a new event venue in Cleveland called AURA Venue CLE, and when we decided to have a styled shoot, we HAD to have the right videographer. Not only was he punctual, and extremely prepared, he also went above and beyond anything I was expecting. He was so wonderful to work with during the shoot. His services, skill, attention to detail, and professionalism, was everything I was hoping for and more.”
