What People Are Saying
‘I have produced nearly 200 episodes of "Sacred Spaces" since 2008, every one of which John-Carl Mazzarotta and Off The Reel Productions have been involved in. John-Carl has filmed and edited the programs and we have worked with many of Australia's premier Architectural and Building companies. John-Carl and Off The Reel have always been imaginative and professional in their approach to filming and editing and they are an integral part of the show's continued success’
— Glen Noble,
Producer, Sacred Spaces
"Regional Italian Cuisine with Caterina" has been screening since 2003, and since then, John-Carl Mazzarotta and Off The Reel Productions have filmed and edited the series and thus played a key part in the success of one of the most popular shows on Channel 31 and probably the longest running cooking show in the world!"
— Nicholas Tortoni,
Producer, Regional Italian Cuisine
with Caterina
‘John-Carl from Off The Reel is a pleasure to work with and I am very glad I ever approached him to transfer my video tapes and 8 mm film reels to DVD and digital files. Treasured family events that were caught on film and tape long ago are now no longer just memories and are able to be viewed and enjoyed again. For this I am extremely grateful.
John-Carl’s workmanship is of the highest quality and his professional manner gave me great confidence from my very first dealings with him. I cannot recommend Off The Reel highly enough and remain an extremely satisfied client.’
