Henry Silverio, Flight Director, Pilot (UAV) Cameraman, Writer, Producer: After heading west to the Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana in 2001, Henry had his first production opportunity, a video designed to introduce people to the Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana. That experience opened up a whole new world for Henry and provided Bridger Productions with organizational talent that is hard to come by. Henry learned to fly in the Air Force and has been a results-driven professional for 25+ years with the proven ability to direct, motivate, and deal honestly and fairly with diverse persons. Adept at crisis management, he is an able troubleshooter with the ability to solve problems and work under pressure. Flying and filming with UAVs is his newest passion. He is computer literate, both Mac and PC, and is intimately familiar with Final Cut Studio Pro, Premier Pro, Photoshop, and InDesign.

Henry has produced films and videos with Bridger Productions about the Bitterroot Valley and several marketing videos for developers and clients in Montana. He has worked as a pilot, cameraman, sound engineer, producer, film editor, and technical assistant with Bridger Production Company on numerous projects.
