Nicholas Incorvaia and Joshua Batchelder are the creative team behind Reel Insyte. Although they have years of experience telling stories through moving pictures,  Illymanya is their first venture into long form documentary filmmaking. 
Over the past few years they have developed a voice together, telling stories for a variety of clients, usually non-profit agencies or forward thinking small businesses.  Their focus has been to tell the human story with passion, clarity, and emotion.  They have been driven daily by the goal of producing long form materials for television, theater, and  profitable distribution in the entertainment and educational market; documentaries, episodic shows and feature films.  The quality of their product is enhanced by their drive to communicate more deeply to a larger audience.  Illymanya represents the culmination of a number of personal and professional passions for both men.
