Cheryl Cooper
An unconventional r sum
Cheryl Cooper should be declared a national treasure. She has been an
invaluable
resource in our efforts to track down and secure rights and permissions
for an extremely
wide array of properties. And if that wasn't enough, she provides very
helpful counsel as
we struggle to find the perfect match for our video, audio and multi-media
productions.
Efficient, resourceful, fun to work with, what more could you ask?
