Our Story
ZENNAWOLFE MEDIA SOLUTIONS was born out of Hollywood Actor Kate Zenna's passion and talent for on-camera coaching and the dire needs of her friend, business partner and software consulting guru, David Wolfe, whose online videos needed help - BIG TIME.
For years, David Wolfe had struggled in front of the camera. Despite this fact, and out of pure business necessity, he continued to publish video content for the benefit of his software consulting firm, Lupine Partners. When Kate saw the state of these videos she demanded that David allow her to 'take a crack at him', believing that she could make him shine on-camera. After one studio session, David was transformed. Not only did he gain training that had a permanent effect on him, he learned that he had facial gestures that were unflattering, unnecessary, disempowering and most importantly - inauthentic. The session was so life-changing for David that he convinced Kate to help him find a way to bring this gift to more people like him - people who wanted to improve their on-camera and presentation skills and who were willing to do whatever it took to do so.
David and Kate soon realized that not only were there many professionals who were interested but there were also many working actors like Kate who wanted to help others and had lots of 'down' time between film roles. Kate's actor colleagues have spent their careers learning how to be comfortable in front of the camera and the unpredictable nature of the entertainment industry offers them time to share their expertise with others. We decided to play Matchmaker and bring both sides together - because we realized that they needed each other.
