ECG Productions, Inc. was formed on February 2nd, 2007, as a video production and post-production company specializing in providing quality high-definition content to the local, regional and national marketplace in the form of industrial videos, training videos, streaming video, video-on-demand, broadcast television programming, commercials, music videos, web video, documentaries and feature length motion pictures. To this end, the core values of the company are as follows:
*Free expression of ideas
*Technical mastery of the craft of filmmaking
*Quality, originality and integrity of all in-house content
*Respect for the medium and the local and national film and television community

ECG Productions was founded by Jason Marraccini and Trey Gregory, both Atlanta natives who spent many years working together professionally in Boston, MA, both on the cable television series “Common Avenue” and on a freelance basis on various commercials, television shows, training videos and feature films. The two developed a business plan for a new production and post company with a fresh, innovative, turnkey approach to the creative process of media production. They began presenting the completed plan to investors over the summer of 2006. Within 2 months capital investment was secured. Trey and Jason returned to their hometown of Atlanta to lay the groundwork for the company in November of 2006.
Rounding out the ECG Productions team are Jason Sirotin, Vice-President of Business Development, who comes to ECG from Manhattan-based InDemand Networks where he was an award-winning producer/director/editor. Travis Johns, Designer, who began his career in New York at Late Night with Conan O’Brien before spending five years as Senior Graphic Designer for XY.tv, and Josh McGill, Production-Manager and Boston native who worked for many years with Trey and Jason on the production of “Common Avenue”.
With Trey Gregory specializing as a director of photography and visual effects artist, Jason Marraccini as an audio mixer and editor, Jason Sirotin as a director and producer, Travis Johns as a designer and Josh McGill as a production manager, ECG Productions has the distinct advantage of having a well-rounded in-house production unit capable of taking any size project from script to screen to delivery. The team has produced over 500 episodes of broadcast television, numerous award-winning short films and commercials, countless corporate and training videos and two feature films.
In addition to the full-time staff, ECG Productions maintains an extensive network of freelance support crew, Spanish-speaking writers and translators, and talented actors and actresses of all ages and races.
