Testimonials


I recently went to Refuse Reality Productions for a photo shoot and immediately fell in love with the space. The different themes fit my looks perfectly, and I loved how the photos turned out. Also, Haley was the absolute sweetest! She was extremely accommodating and was a joy to shoot with.

Refuse Reality Productions is a great example of what people are capable of when they are passionate about what they do. Working in the industry since 2006, I put together many ambitious projects, some of them for such wonderful brands as Jaguar Land Rover and Cirque du Soleil, but nothing can compare to what I’ve seen in the production of ‘Sunday Driver’. In a very short time and with limited resources they recreated 10 decades of the XX century, incorporating elaborate props, costumes, interiors, and exteriors. Being on set with Refuse Reality Productions is always a joy, you are surrounded by friendly and professional people. It was an honor to collaborate with Refuse Reality Productions and I will be happy to do it again if I have a chance.

Working with Haley on the ‘Sunday Driver’ video was a great experience. Haley had a strong vision of what she wanted to accomplish and that made the process a pleasure to go through. We experimented with several very advanced Color Correction techniques to create looks that complemented what had been accomplished beautifully in production. Classic cars, wonderful locations and strong directing added to the well written script and made it fun to get creative in the Color Correction process. Haley communicated clearly and confidently throughout the process and the end results reflected the dedication.

I LOVE working with Haley Ahern from Refuse Reality whenever I get the chance. She is so creative and willing to think outside the box, I never feel any idea of off the table. I’m a traveling photographer based in Nashville, TN and I’ve had the pleasure to work with Haley here in Nashville as well as in California. Haley always meshes with my work style on each project. When I need a direct clear plan she’s always there to throw out ideas and help find amazing locations, but when I want to run and gun it she’s always willing to think on the fly and make that work too! I have fun every single time we work together and it shows in the final product. I can’t recommend enough!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Refuse Reality Productions. I used this space to update my portfolio for castings. I enjoyed this high quality studio space, convenient location, & impeccable service. Haley provides excellent customer service while ensuring a relaxed and professional experience. I cannot recommend Refuse Reality Productions enough!

Between friendliness and professionalism, I absolutely love having Refuse Reality Productions get the shot for all my content needs. The trust and confidence really leaves me with a profound experience, something I unfortunately do not have with many other productions in this line of work. 4am call times for shots that take time and dedication to set up really helped understand the determination this team has and continues to put forward.
