Writer/Creator/Producer

Terence Ceiphian, the creative force behind "The Witching Tree," previously served as Senior Technical Manager at National Amusements Inc. There, he managed live performances featuring prominent recording artists, corporate award ceremonies, and opera broadcasts, while providing technical expertise for VIPs ranging from Oscar winners to former UK Deputy Prime Ministers.
