About BLM

Our motto says it all:  it's what you imagine.

But it's more than a catch-phrase that looks good on a t-shirt, it's a philosophy guiding our work.  Our passion is to create, to teach, to entertain and inspire, and above all, exceed the expectations of our audiences, our clients...and ourselves.   While every project has a budget, a schedule and other constraints, it also has the promise of becoming something great.  We ask our clients to join us in focusing on that promise, to set aside preconceptions and imagine what's truly possible.

Blue Land Media, was founded in 2000 by producers Joe Bruncsak and Walter Rissmeyer as a full-service video and multimedia content producer focusing on documentary, arts, educational and non-fiction entertainment programming for broadcast and cable television and marketing and informational communications for corporate and institutional clients.

Blue Land offers complete production services from concept, scripting, design, production, post-production and delivery (including web-based design, video encoding and DVD authoring).  BLM operates standard-definition and high-definition production and post-production facilities and offers 4K production capabilities using the RED ONE Digital Cinema Camera.
