My story
My passion for the creative world started back in 1992 when I got my first still camera from my grandmother. I started experimenting with photography, which later evolved to studying the art of videography and video making. At 14, I directed my first live program for the Israeli National Television (from a music festival). While producing, directing and video-graphing a handful of video productions for local TV station and clients, I came to the understanding I love the stage and went on experimenting with theater studies. This ended up with an international degree in Theater studies and a performance in front of the American and Israeli officials in Budapest.
At the beginning of 2001, I started my content production company, which in 2002 became a partnership named “Tzilum Pirsum” - A content production company based in Tel Aviv. In 2018, I sold “Tzilum Pirsum” and opened a Creative Solution company under my own name.
It’s been about ten years since I started directing Business events and conferences. There is nothing like seeing everything happening in front of the audience after a long period in the making. My experience as a live broadcast director allowed me to be super precise when I run an event.
When the 2020 pandemic year hit, I examined my passion and chose projects that interested me the most. I’m proud to say that coming out of that year into 2021, I’ve grown and focused on my field of expertise. Nowadays, you can find me focusing on hybrid conferences, Live broadcasts, Running shows and conferences, Directing and creating content for Business events and Marketing videos for my newly based American Company "BG Creative Solution" as well as with my Israeli-based company "Guy Ben-Gad".
