About Pete
Pete Verrando is fast, easy, cleans up nice, plays well with others. Pete happily suggests Dallas crew, equipment and b-roll reccos. ...like where to find live longhorns with downtown in the bkg.
I love the film process, peeps and technology. Not a refugee from music recording. No side gigs doing post audio, band/club/church sound or hotel AV. Location sound, period. Although I do like to take things apart...Like this thing.
