Nathaniel Hart

Videographer

I have lived and grown up in the Lakes Region since 2000. I have always held a great fascination for many things, all in the pursuit of learning or experiencing something new. In 2011 I decided to pursue a pilots license which led me to attending flight school in 2013 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I am now training to be a certified flight instructor and hope to make a career out of it. One of my many interests is the art of filmmaking, which lends itself to my interest in Lake Region Television.

I am a videographer at LRTV, which means I'm the guy behind the camera recording your local town meetings and general 'goings-on'. Whether that be meetings for the Board of Selectmen, or Planning board, town hall, and others. You may also see us at town events like fairs, charity events, or the opening of a new business; If it's the talk of the town we want to be there to capture it.

Fred Mccubrey

Videographer/Multi-Camera Technical Director

Technology has always interested me. My neighbor once gave me a box of old computers that I really enjoyed taking apart and finding how things worked. In high school I enrolled in the Advanced Technologies class at the Lake Region Vocational Center and then later completed compTIA A+ for computer repair certification.

After dabbling in building race cars, I decided to turn to cameras as a less messy hobby and started working as a camera operator. My role at LRTV is mostly to produce the live municipal meetings held in the lower level of the Bridgton Municipal Complex. Here I simultaneously control the robotic cameras, mix audio, and insert graphics. I also help on events outside the studio.

Patti Schulte, Bridgton resident, moved to Maine in 2013 for her husband’s job in the lumber industry with Hancock Lumber. She was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, and attended Columbia College of Chicago for theatre design. Specializing in theatrical make-up design quickly landed her working for the Chicago Lyric Opera. After completing her school for make-up design in Vancouver, BC Canada, she then set out on a path as a wig and hair specialist in the film and television industry in the Pacific Northwest for 10 years.

After starting a family upon moving to Maine, and traveling within the state doing hair and makeup for weddings, her background and roots in film and television brought her back into the industry when she joined Lake Region Television in 2018 as a camera operator, producing community events, municipal meetings, and promoting local small businesses in the Lakes Region. After serving on the LRTV Board of Directors for a time, she has returned to staff to specialize in social media, marketing, and production.
