Telequest, Inc.

Telequest produces programs for corporate, educational and broadcast use, for delivery via television, videotape, CD-ROM and Internet.

Telequest is:

• Dick Blofson: Besides directing and producing many of Telequest's projects, Dick is most often the man behind the camera. Recently, he could be found capturing the action in an office building in Osaka, the rain forest of Costa Rica, and hanging off a fire engine racing through the streets of Trenton, N.J. Before co-founding the company in 1978, Dick produced documentaries for PBS and worked as a freelance director, cameraman, and production manager for CBS, ABC, WNET, and others. Dick's sense of drama and story is rooted on Broadway, where he spent 12 years managing productions that featured actors and directors such as Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Quail, Jane Fonda, Barbra Streisand, Paul Newman, Tennessee Williams, Langston Hughes, Carol Burnett, and Arthur Penn.

• Scott Neilsen: Scott has worked at almost every level of the video and motion picture industries - as a cameraman, soundman, director, editor, producer, even a composer and lyricist. After studying anthropology at the University of Minnesota, Scott worked as a pilot, truck dirver, auto mechanic, still photographer, and aircraft parts salesman. He discovered that the film business was the perfect place for a "jack of all trades" such as himself. For the CBS program Lure of the Tall Ships, Scott was second cameraman, sound recordist, and production coordinator. In the years before co-founding Telequest, he produced documentaries for PBS and taught film-making at Princeton University. He has recorded 22 original songs for films airing on CBS, PBS, and Nickelodeon. At Telequest, he directs, edits and oversees post-production.

• Dan Preston: When Dan joined Telequest in 1994, he brought ten years of experience producing, writing and directing national television broadcasts, including Adam Smith's Money World on PBS and the syndicated USA Today on TV. These programs featured heads of state and of major corporations, as well as factory workers and the unemployed, from locations ranging from the heartland of America to Tokyo and Buenos Aires. Previously, Dan was an economic forecaster for Chase Manhattan and Merrill Lynch, using complex computer models. At Telequest, Dan directs the company's interactive multimedia projects and writes and produces video programs. A summa cum laude graduate of Yale, Dan studied film at New York University, The New School, and in his family's back yard creating monster movies, comedies, and toga epics.
