Teena Black worked with me on Phantom Punch and truly was a joy to work with, helping me on keeping my schedule tight by always having the actors prepared. On the shoot I was dealing with actors, Golden Globe winner Ving Rhames, from Emmy winning show NYPD Blue Nick Turturro, and Hollywood stars Bridgette Wilson-Sampras (The Wedding Planner), Stacey Dash (Clueless). Ms. Black is a talented artist able to deal with a diverse group of actors. She did a wonderful job and I would give her three thumbs up!”
