Welcome to bent spoon Media, a small press and video producer based in the Minneapolis / St. Paul Metropolitan area. Under the bent spoon umbrella is bent spoon Media Services (developers of short and long form video for corporate and creative clients for theatrical and Internet/Intranet release), bent spoon Media Publishing (publishers of books, audio books, and films.) and bentspoon.net (an online magazine that muses on parenting).
bent spoon was an offshoot of Groundswell Development, a business-to-business documentation and website development company based in Boston, MA from 2000 until 2003. After dozens of websites built for small business owners, and three large contracts with what were then Mellon Bank and Bank of America, the two founders of Groundswell Development parted ways: one went to work for one of Groundswell's clients, and the other, RJ Lavallee, began bent spoon Media with a handful of Groundswell's prior clients, clients that bent spoon Media retains today.
bent spoon Media had been listed as an Assumed Name operation in California from 2006 until 2011. bent spoon's listed location of operation was registered in Minnesota when RJ Lavallee moved there with his family in 2011.
Current projects include development of online training materials, corporate videos, and interactive media for the BNY Mellon Wealth Management Training Department, the development of interactive media for Blaisdell Insurance, the Governor's Mansion, and Seeds of Change, as well as the recently released book The Peacock Butterfly.
