The name Blue Truck Productions® was inspired from my fondest childhood memories of spending carefree summers with my grandparents. They were inventive storytellers and wholeheartedly encouraged my imagination—often for their own entertainment!
My grandfather was a humble man who drove a rusty old blue truck for most of his life, despite the fact that he could afford a new one. I spent many summer days riding in “Old Blue” listening to his tall Texas tales. He had a witty sense of humor and a keen ability to impart wise messages woven within each story.
My grandmother wrote a news column for the local paper, which she referred to as "the gossip column." Instead of reading bedtime stories from a book, she invented them from her imagination, and inspired me to do the same. With a silly sense of humor, one of her favorite pastimes during summer evenings was for the two of us to make “prank” calls from her rotary dial phone (obviously a time prior to Caller ID). We would invent harmless jokes and call a few neighbors. Everyone had a good laugh! This bit of tomfoolery and concocting fairytales was the start to my life as a writer and storyteller.
Today, Blue Truck is symbolic for "inspiring storytelling" in both written and visual mediums. We help our clients bring their stories to life utilizing the sight, sound and motion of video.
