Personal Bio:
Dennis G. Potamianos
Owner & CEO
This fellow is the owner & sometimes not-so-beautiful mind behind this endeavor. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, but always seeking adventure in the world, he fell in love with both music and film at an early age. Specifically, how the two can combine to form something more meaningful and magical together. It is his dream to bring a little more of that magic into the world for everyone willing to listen & look.
Thank / blame him for everything you see & hear from this point, forward. So, grab some friends, sit back, get up, do whatever you must to enjoy yourself to the fullest. From first to last call, we’ll be here for it all.
