About AH HA

AH HA, Inc. provides inspired talent and production solutions for all visual media from TV commercials to social content in traditional and non-traditional, long and short formats.

From its inception in 1990 as a representation firm for top directorial talent and production companies the company quickly evolved to a full service production company excelling with assignments in the food, extreme sports, automotive and comedic segments.  Key areas of success were the fostering of top directors like Ridley, Tony & Jake Scott, Marcus Nispel  special segment directors like Pat Solomon with visceral extreme sports and metal assignments, Will Van der Vlugt (high end food) and Jason House (real people real stories) as well as the introduction of new and undiscovered talent.  Where assignments had no easy or apparent solution, AH HA is known for finding the director and or DP with exactly the right experience, sensibility and reel and creating a custom production solution.

Company founder, Andrew Halpern, moved to the production side after a decade of ad agency National Brand account service experience.  Over seeing production on brands including Jack in the Box, SAAB, Volkswagen and Nissan, he saw a crying need to package great directorial talent with transparent and collaborative production to the advertising world.  Hence his company is rooted in great client service, prudent purchasing and creative excellence.  Now with over fifteen years of multi-national production experience AH-HA  has been an industry leader in technology, new media and custom brand support in live action production, animation, and all aspects of finishing.
