“Ravin’ Films is one of the go-to video production companies in the music business. Bob Sarles and Christina Keating posses a rare blend of technical expertise and a knowledge of musical history that immediately puts artists, managers and marketing people at ease, both on-set and in post production. I’ve hired Bob and Christina produce and direct EPK shoots with Van Morrison and Sly & The Family Stone (yes, all of them!) to name two, and the results were fantastic. I’ve also worked with them on feature length documentaries, including Sweet Blues: A Film About Mike Bloomfield and Bang! The Bert Berns Story, both of which take the daring step of shining a well deserved light on the obscure and overlooked giants in rock music history. ”

Together Bob, with his deft editorial eye and keen storytelling ability, and Christina, with her deep experience as and archival researcher and story producer, reinvented our film and delivered to us a masterpiece.
