jAMES w. pARKER-CEO
Jim Parker is the founder and owner of Riverview Studios which provides broadcast and video production services globally. Jim has been telling stories via his camera for 42 years throughout the world and from his studio in Bordentown, NJ.
Jim is proud to use his business and skills to help many of the area nonprofits, but he also has been honored by the NJ Citizens Action Council for his activism at our state capital to better the lives for all our citizens.
We all know that Jim knows how to tell a story via his camera and editing, but he also converted his 1800’s mill into a working studio and a control room himself.
An avid Explorer, Jim got his pilot's license in 1999 on a whim when he was working on a video for Mercer County Community College. Jim remarked that it was the first time in his career that he ever received Straight A's in a college course.
Jim says his glass is always 7/8 full, usually with something delicious.
mary bradley - dIR. oPERATIONS
Having worked for Jim Parker 20-something years ago, Mary reunited with him five years ago for what has become a perfect partnership in style, creativity, and vision, except for travel arrangements. Jim’s a pilot, and Mary does not do small planes.
Mary wants all Production teams who need a studio to shoot their next project to consider Riverview. “Riverview understands what you and your team need, even if you bring your own crew. If you find yourself needing equipment while you’re here, we can cover all your needs from lights to a simple C-stand. In addition, we know client relationships and will help to make sure your client has a first class experience at your shoot. Come take a tour and find out for yourself all we have to offer.”
Mary feels very strongly about the studio’s location in Bordentown; “travel to our studio is extremely easy from the PA and NJ airports, we’re just off several major transit routes and rail systems. And Bordentown has proven to enchant all who come here, not just our cool historic building but the town itself!”
MONICA RIOS - SR. PRODUCER
A proud Venezuelan living in New Jersey, Monica has a degree in Communications which she received while studying at home in Maracaibo, Venezuela. After moving to the United States and studying Video Production she decided to pursue a professional creative career. Monica has been working as an editor and producer at Riverview Studios since 2018. She enjoys being involved in every aspect of the production from beginning to end and is passionate about the work she does, never turning away new ideas and experiences. “By getting to use my first language, Spanish, I can contribute to the diversity of the studio and the variety of programs we produce. I look forward to many more new productions and meeting many more interesting people to work with!”
JIM MONTEFORTE - PRODUCER
In Riverview's quest to acquire as many Jims as possible, Jim Monteforte is the most recent addition to the team. Jim is a filmmaker based in Hamilton Township, NJ. Before coming to Riverview Studios, Jim was a freelance videographer/director, where he filmed events, talk shows, and children's educational programming.
Jim is also a trained voiceover artist, a skill he sharpened while being stuck at home throughout 2020 and has lent his voice, as well as his editing talents to local non-profit organizations, charities, educational content, and culturally significant projects.
In his own time, Jim is a comedy writer who produces his own films and hopes to make his very first feature film in the near future. "At the end of the day, I love being a part of a team of like-minded individuals who all share the goal of making a project as best as we possibly can."
Jim Graziano - Audio Engineer
Jim Graziano, “Jim G,” or “Jim Graz,”* met studio owner Jim Parker, took notice of the abundance of Riverview Studios polo shirts with the name “Jim” embroidered on them, and has been a mainstay at Riverview ever since.
Jim has decades of experience in both live music performance and behind-the-scenes audio production. He’s directed music teams, mixed live sound, stage managed, and curated performances for Art All Night Trenton, Grounds for Sculpture, and the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market, among other small- and large-scale local and national events.
He feels at home mixing and recording production sound, and as a multi-instrumentalist, has arranged and produced original music for his own projects as well as for clients. Along with being a published author, Jim has toured, performed, and recorded with various bands, and appeared in numerous music videos and independent film productions.
“I love being part of the talented, close-knit team at Riverview Studios. Everyone has something unique that they bring to the table, and together our skills and experience help clients’ stories shine through.”
