"Kurt is just awesome! He's smart, funny, and the man KNOWS video. Kurt understands how to work with people and he always keeps his cool; Even with ego-maniacal showbiz executive producer types! I had the privilege to sit and work with him on a variety of projects for many months and it's the closest I've ever been to a real media professional. He made me want to be more like him! :-) Kurt's the best!"
JEFF HARRIS, Independent Technology Consultant

"I met Kurt in late 1995 while working on various projects for Internet America. I found him to be an outstanding editor and incredibly reliable, dedicated and efficient contributor to our projects. Because of this positive experience we decided to hire Kurt to direct. edit and line produce our television show, Net Talk Live! His contribution and hard work helped NTL grow to a highly successful production reaching millions of homes worldwide.
Net Talk Live! reformatted into Net Talk Interactive, winning a Bronze Telly and a WorldFest Platinum award in Television and Cable/Best TV Series for Family and Children. Kurt was at the directorial helm, as well as contributing greatly in the production and editorial process. I always look forward to hearing his ideas, as they are always grounded and well thought out.
I certainly look forward to working with Kurt in the future. Not only is he great to work with, I might add he is also truly a man of great integrity and has a good heart. In fact, I would say that working with Kurt guarantees the job will get done, no matter what!"

He’s always on-time, on-target and on-top of every little detail. And I say all of this from multiple perspectives having worked with him as (1) a talent, (2) the client and (3) a co-producer... "

He will make you look better than you thought was possible."

"We are producing a company commercial and would love to get a select of our favorite few freelance videographers to be in the commercial. We are in the process of putting together a script, but would like to ask if you would like to be in the commercial. You have been with us for a while and you do great work. We ask if you would just record yourself with a nice scenic view of your town behind you and just read a sentence or two. Let me know. We are looking to have this completed by Christmas. Thank you!"

"As usual, our friend Kurt Boxdorfer, founder of Legend Media Producers has been there for us with his brilliant expertise, creativity and passion. No deadline, project or idea is beyond his talent and vision. His incredible media production, videography and photography have been a cornerstone of BeaversBendVacations.com since the beginning. I’m an OU grad, he’s a Texas grad…Wow, Sooners and Longhorns can get along…except for the second Saturday in October."
JERRY AND SHERRI ISBELL, Mountain Vista Luxury Log Cabin Owner
"When it has to be done right the first time, have every detail and every angle covered, and has to be visually stunning, engaging and get the story across... Kurt and Legend Media Producers are the ones I go to. Kurt brings his "A" game, his "A" equipment and his "A" attitude and expertise to every shoot. He can see "past the shoot", knowing what he needs to cover now for things we may need later for other projects. His editing skills are off the chart. Few people can see, hear and feel the story prior to the shoot like Kurt can. He always arrives early, stays until the last shot, and his post work is done on time. The end result? Always (always) more than was imagined. Hire Kurt as your consultant and business partner. That's exactly what he is."
DAVID HIRA, Entertainer, M.C., and Motivational Keynote Speaker
"I had a great time working with Kurt Boxdorfer today. He is a total professional with his work. I learn so much each time I work with him. He is a master behind the camera. Awesome day, Kurt thanks for all your hard work."

Our staff and our clients love working with him, he has such a positive attitude. He is reliable, professional, and always submits very high quality video. He goes the extra mile for every shoot he does. No job is too big or too small for him to handle. I highly recommend Kurt and feel honored to have such a top notch Videographer/Director working with our company."

Now, he's taken all he knows about making speakers BETTER and put it in his new book that launches TODAY!!! I've even made the back cover and am a contributor in a chapter!"
DAVID HIRA, Entertainer, M.C., and Motivaltional Keynote Speaker
"Kurt and Legend Media Producers have now shot and edited over 15 videos for my company. The shoots were PERFECT and were only overshadowed by the expert edits that helped me sell the SIZZLE and not just the “steak”. Kurt has a extremely good understanding of how to attain the DESIRED RESULTS through his expertise in video production. Above all, he is a good guy who does what he says he’s going to do… and then does a little more. May I suggest that you simply try Legend Media Producers, let them loose to do what they do best, and then be as amazed as I have been at the unimaginable and excellent results. 5 Stars simply aren’t enough. Bravo!"

"I had the pleasure of having Kurt Boxdorfer as my professional videographer when presenting my new novel, “LACED” at Times Ten Cellars in the Lakewood area of Dallas. Kurt also recorded my second signing in downtown Forney at Crumbzz. The book signings were both professionally recorded by Kurt and were special to me as I was able to sit back after the event and watch my own book signings several times over. Kurt is not the type of guy who quickly does his job and leaves. He helps with every aspect of his assignment. For example, Kurt helped the owners and I set up books where people could see and purchase the novels, decorated the tables with the items as to make them more appealing to others, and is basically one of the nicest people I have ever met. While extremely professional, is also friendly and outgoing to participants. He thinks outside of the box and creates projects for his clients that are timeless and magical. One party-goer expressed on her Facebook, “WOW! The guy who did the video is unbelievably great at what he does.” I have other book signings coming up and have already asked Kurt to video my events and to continue to bring my books to life. What an amazing professional and human being!"

AUTHOR REVIEWS for my book, The Inside-Out Speaker
An absolute must read for novice speakers...and seasoned ones too!
"A breath of fresh air in a speaker training world full of the same old speaker techniques, I definitely will recommend this book to any speaker looking to elevate their presence and performance on stage. This book digs into the core fundamentals of what it takes to connect with an audience and deliver a program that not only touches the head, but the heart as well. Written in a direct and conversational style, the book is packed full of easy to implement tools and techniques to elevate one's platform success. It not only reinforced what I have been doing, but it also revealed some areas that I need work on."
WALDO WALDMAN, Hall of Fame Speaker and National Best-Selling Author
Have to present? Here’s your primer!
”Clearly Kurt has keen powers of observation having watched and worked with speakers. The Inside Out Speaker offers powerful information about really connecting with your audience, being authentic and so much more.There is such a tendency to listen too much to what others think you should be saying. I think this book is for anyone who has to speak - not just professionals. If you have a presentation of any sort this book is a terrific guide.”
KATE DELANEY, Author and Syndicated National Radio host
“Everyone has a message, but there are very few who are able to communicate that message. And there are many books, and now videos, that claim to be able to aid in this task.
Kurt Boxdorfer joins this crusade with a flanking maneuver. This comment has a shading of war, because the industry of producing books for the purpose of teaching students how to speak before an audience has been reduced to trench warfare.
Boxdorfer does not approach public speaking from the old tactic of writing a “How To” book. Neither does he attempt to show his readers a plan of developing each message before it is delivered. Finally, this book is not a large textbook with the history, development, and discussion ad nauseam about a topic which has been bludgeoned to death by the same old bat, over and over again.
Kurt addresses all speakers with a simple step of taking what you have said, listening to those who will critique the way you have said it, and realizing the feedback, both good and bad, can be a tool to get better at communicating “your” message. This is accomplished by a very easy read. But, being an easy read does not condemn his book to the gallows of fluff material.
Because of Mr. Boxdorfer’s unique book, many speakers, both novice and pro, will know who to listen to, when the listener gives their feedback.
I have been a public speaker for nearly 55 years. I would have gotten better, quicker, if I had not had to learn his truths by trial and error. I highly recommend this book to everyone and anyone who knows that they have an important message to convey.”
LLOYD BOX, Theologian and Communications Expert
”Great information that can guide any person to become a better public speaker!”
DAN POWERS, Media Specialist
