"I first saw George’s work on television and immediately knew he would bring something special to the films we were about to create on Cisco’s Sharing the Care programs for both the Democratic and Republican Conventions. The films he created exceeded my expectations. They captured the humanity of the films’ subjects in a way that deeply touched the audiences. George knows how to “speak film,” how to use film to communicate on many levels simultaneously. His talents are exceptional."
—Christopher Sereno, Former Marketing Program Manager, Cisco Systems
“Nierenberg plunges into his projects with all the resources at his disposal, as willing to stage a scene – in a natural setting – as to catch one on the run.”
—Christian Science Monitor
“Nierenberg’s achievement here is a masterpiece of research, diligence and direction. But his work would be meaningless if the movie didn’t convey the spirit of the people in it, and Say Amen, Somebody does that with great and mighty joy. This is a great experience.”
—Chicago Sun Times
“George T. Nierenberg… builds his movies around multifaceted characters who serve both to involve the audience and really ’open up’ the material.”
—Rolling Stone

"George Nierenberg is a director/producer who did some very strong storytelling video pieces on antibiotics for our client Pfizer. The stories dug deep, and were movingly told and beautifully shot, a tribute to George. In fact, one of the pieces on VFEND became widely used in the larger organization, as it was a perfect example of Pfizer at its best."
—Robin Reif, Former Senior VP, Group Account Director at Jack Morton Worldwide
"I’ve known George Nierenberg for over 30 years. He is a consummate professional with a one-of-a-kind ability to come into any situation, conceptualize how it can be brought to life on screen and through digital media, and then execute a singular vision that gets right at the heart of the material. His work is consistently superior."
—Steven Phillips, Former Partner and Creative Director, MJM Creative Services
“George has an ability to tap into the emotional core of a story in a unique and authentic way. His work on our Sharing the Care program strongly supported our outreach programs and their impact on people's lives. Entering into his films felt as though we were there, experiencing the programs as his subjects did. George has a broad range of abilities and can tackle any subject, and the results he presents you with will far exceed your expectations. To top it all off, he was responsive to our needs and wishes and was easy to work with.”
—Rick Luftglass, Former Executive Director of the Pfizer Foundation and Senior Director of Corporate Philanthropy and Community Engagement
