Experience working with agencies, production, and FX/Post-production companies producing for various categories, including automotive, CPG, telecommunications, travel, leisure, and food.As a multicultural and bilingual producer, he chooses to bring his expertise from both continents and strong liaisons across the US and Latin America to projects where there is a cultural crossover. Ekman utilizes his tenacity, patience, and ingenuity to bring both visionary and ambitious projects to fruition. Good example: the breaking ground social project for Facebook "Alrededor de Mexico con Messenger" (https://vimeo.com/93423870), where 90 percent of the project was produced on the road throughout five states in Mexico over 21 days, including a five-part video series, prolific still images, and continuous social media style interactive text. Upon his return to New York City, he oversaw the production of a final documentary-style video on a tight timeline to complete the project. Ekman is always pleased to apply his passion, business savvy, unique perspective, and extensive experience to produce stimulating, original, and meritorious creative pieces on time and on budget. He enjoys the challenge of traveling with projects, particularly those with a multicultural bent, and is fluent in both Spanish and English, with a basic comprehension of Portuguese and Italian.
