RSP enjoys a competitive advantage other production companies in the area simply can't match-our staff.

The crew at RSP is made up of experienced professionals with a real passion for the work they do and the clients they serve.

Take a moment to meet the crew below.


Daniel Garza | President & CEO

Founder of the city's first film festival in 2000, and now CEO of Corpus Christi's fastest growing production company, Daniel's unique vision guides RSP's growth and creative business strategy. "Our business is relatively young and we've been very fortunate but I whole-heartedly believe that our creativity, our passion, and our service to our clients will continue to see us grow."

David Mendez | Vice President & Production Coordinator

Born and raised in Corpus Christi, David has always had a passion for production and the hard work that goes into it. With the work ethic provided by his father, and the ability to dream by his mother, along with the support of his family, David was able to dive into work that he loves to do. With three kids he hopes to inspire, and an industry that grows so rapidly every day, David invites those challenges. David has been blessed with this opportunity to work with incredible people and clients that believe in the work and services we provide.

Janel Benavides | Graphic Design & Web Development

Founded in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 2006 by two local entrepreneurs, Reel Simple Productions has quickly earned the respect of both the business community and its peers.

Recognized as "Small Business of the Year" in 2007, the company's staff has grown to five employees and expanded its offices and services.

With a unique creative vision and a solid business plan, the company's founders believe Reel Simple Productions is poised to assume a leadership role in the creative media industry in the years to come.

We proudly support entrepreneurs and play an active role in advocating for small businesses in our community through our seats on various boards and memberships in numerous organizations.

In addition, we support the television, radio, and film industry in the State of Texas and anticipate increasing that support in 2009.

Below is a sample of what we anticipate will be an ever growing list.

We owe a great debt of gratitude to the online community for the invaluable resources they post on the web everyday. On many a late night we've sifted through these sites and found information and support that saved us countless hours of work.

In 2007, Reel Simple Productions was the first local production company to add High Definition cameras to its gear list. In 2008, we added a second HD camera to our tool chest and established a tapeless workflow that allows us to cut hours off the post-production process.

In addition, we've recently updating our editing suites, purchasing new Intel Mac Pros and a MacBook Pro for those moments when editing in the field is a must.

Add a dedicated gigabit file server, four 16GB P2 cards, lighting by Lowel and audio solutions by Sennheiser and M-Audio and you have the makings of one sweet production company!
