About Ted
I have been involved with the sales and distribution of such well-known films as THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION, HELLRAISER, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, ONE FALSE MOVE, RE-ANIMATOR, BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR, SOCIETY and EVIL DEAD 2.
I began my career in 1990 working with Paul Rich at Trans Atlantic Entertainment. After its sale to Lakeshore, he went on to lead the sales at Creative Light Entertainment and Moving Pictures Film and Television. He was also Senior VP of Media Brokerage for ICAP Media, a division of ICAP Plc.
I have bene running my own Sales, Distribution and Production company since 2011, TomCat/Summer Hill Films.
Specialties: Bootstrapping and managing film and TV sales/distribution companies. Film Production.
Unique traits: It’s been over 30 years since I put the first film into distribution — ever since, I’ve been working to help filmmakers (including me) realize their dreams, from development and production to finding an audience for their releases; but it hasn’t been an easy road. It has, however, provided me with an endless supply of insights — sharp business tips, genre-specific strategies, opinions and even life hacks with real-life application — and from my home in the desert state of Arizona (alongside my loyal canine, Artie, a ginger-hued Red Heeler), and full of Star Wars memorabilia, I’m excited to share those hard-won lessons with you. I genuinely hope you love them, week after week.
