Gary Wilkins, Founding partner
Gary is a straight up wizard! The term working producer just begins to describe the hands on approach for which Gary is known. He brings his IT background, his love of everything tech and his drive to build things to creating WRK's custom electronics and rigging. Gary’s ingenuity has shaped a unique vision for our company as an artistic laboratory complete with custom welded grip and gaff gear. If you can think it up, no-scratch that - reverse it, if he can think it up; rather, lets just say - if it can be thought up he can build it!
In addition to overall production Gary has expertise in lighting, sound design, editing and visual effects. He owns and operates a Lighting and IT company Stratus Tech Systems in addition to being WRK's go to problem solver. In his free time he produced and edited a feature film, The Longest Swim and a feature sports documentary Billy’s Cap: The Southworth Story. He is a jack-of-all-trades and master of many including welding, board op, fabrication, live switching and streaming, custom carts and lighting rigs.
