"The Home Video Studio® staff is one of the biggest reasons why we feel so good about HVS. We enjoy working with them and one thing we don't have to worry about is their support. We wish we had done it 15 years ago!”

“There are many things I like about Home Video Studio® that I never would have thought of – or didn’t have the resources to do – on my own.The website stands out. The tracking system they provide keeps my productivity up and my panic level down. The constant training I receive is the best. My interaction with other owners allows me to get tips I would have never gotten otherwise. And just the camaraderie - it’s fantastic!”
David Gardner, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Home Video Studio® assists new owners with financing. Robert Hanley, a producer/director/editor and company president, has 32 years in the film and video business, having produced everything from national TV spots to corporate films and video. Hanley spent the 1980s honing his production and editing skills and learning his craft, shooting both video and 16mm & 35mm film. By 1991, after completing an independent feature film, Hanley did the unthinkable and started over. "I actually reinvented myself and the video business that we ran," he explains. "I was tired of the rat race. I decided to stay at home with my family, focus on making money and having fun."
Hanley started making lots of money immediately and concentrated on building his video services business. "We started out with only two profit centers - home movie transfer and video duplication. Today we have 27, including our fastest growing areas: Video to DVD transfer and DVD duplication," says Hanley. In 1998, after netting over six figures in one year from his small spare bedroom studio, Hanley decided to form Home Video Studio® and help others repeat his success. If you like computers and video and love the idea of working from home or one of our new storefronts, contact Home Video Studio® today and join the HVS family!

"Working out of the home is the greatest thing I could have imagined. It's great to wake up in the morning, take the kids to school or their summer programs, come home and sit in my own studio, do projects and then have that 'long' 35 foot walk to the kitchen to fix some lunch! I really enjoy being able to work out of my home."? - Andy Conte, HVS studio owner, New Jersey
