Founded by Chris McKenna and Monica Hinden, Wee Beastie is one great LITTLE  *wink* design boutique.  Chris is an idea guy and not just pie in the sky; he not only makes sure that concept is king, but that it is executable within budget so that it can make it to the screen and then into the minds and hearts of audiences and consumers. Not only that, Chris has an amazing eye and bedside manner to match and hey, that Monica brings new meaning to “a pleasure to work with.”   Let’s face it, when all is said and done, in this business we want to work with people who are NICE — the despite their “beastly” name, they’re as warm as their cuddly mascot pictured to the right.

We’ve had the good fortune to be a part of Beastie’s network of collaborators editing and post supervising on a number of projects. One promo that George Spyros edited, won ProMax gold in 2007.  Way to go, Beastie! Check out some of Wee Beastie’s other fantastic spots below.
