About Us |
Kerra Penn, Co-founder, Producer, Director, Writer Kerra Penn was a film major at Pennsylvania State University. After a stint as an on-air radio personality, her career in producing began when she met the owner of a production company in Asia. He was starting the first music video show in Malaysia. Apparently, her film and music background was just what he was looking for.The task of getting this show on the air two weeks after she was hired was a challenge to say the least. There was no cast, no crew ,no studio and much to her chagrin, she discovered that the country’s top-selling artists did not have music videos because they had never needed them before this show. So Kerra and the other producers scrambled to shoot live performances of these acts so that they had “videos” to be played on the show. Miraculously they managed to get the show on air on time. This highly successful show launched a music video industry for the country. In addition to writing all of the show's scripts, Kerra cast and directed the host who went on to win “Best Host in Asia” at the Asian Television Awards (Asian Emmys) for his work on this show. After a stint working on the CBS drama "Early Edition," she worked as a producer, writer and host of the local Chicago program, "Your Chicago Show." In addition to her production experience Kerra has over ten years of professional writing experience and a strong marketing and sales background. The fact that Kerra was the top sales person in the nation for a publicly traded company for two years before starting Moving Moment Productions speaks to her ability to get across a strong sales and marketing message for MMP’s corporate clients. |

Moving Moment Productions was formed when co-owners Kerra Penn and Pat Ulie noticed there was a hole in the Chicago Video Production Industry. Those looking to have a video produced had only two choices. Choose a high-end production house or an affordable "wedding style" videographer. The result: an overpriced high-quality video or a "cheaply priced"/"cheap looking" end product. . By combining their talents with low overhead Pat Ulie and Kerra Penn offer clients a third and more desirable solution. They believe that with today's technology and a lot of talent - a profesionally produced video does not need to break the bank. That is why Moving Moment Productions has earned the respect of many of the Midwest's highest profile Corporations, Non-profits and Universities. Every project that we work on is approached with the utmost professionalism, creative ingenuity and most importantly... a lot of heart. |
