Having started my career in film and TV in Orlando, FL, in the late '80s and early '90s as a PA, I worked in location sound and in the locations department before moving into Post Production, where I worked as a PA, coordinator, supervisor and Associate Producer. I later moved to LA in the late '90s, and have delivered hundreds of hours of TV content (and the occasional movie) to all the major broadcast and cable networks. During that time, I also ventured into writing and have written TV treatments and pilots, some of which have been considered for development. I've also ventured into writing for the big screen, and especially enjoy biopics, telling interesting stories about the lives of real people who made a difference in the world. I'm currently working on scripts, but remain an active member in the Producers Guild of America. As a news and feature stories writer, I'm also an active member of the Outdoor Writers Association of California.

Pyramid
(
Television
(Game-Show)
Production manager More than a decade after its last run ended, "Pyramid" saw new life as a syndicated entry hosted by one-time teen heartthrob Donny Osmond. The basic premise was identical to the 1973 classic word association game: Two teams of two (a contestant and a celebrity partner) each try to convey words and/or phrases in any one of six categories. This time, they had just 20 seconds to guess six words correctly. As before the cluegiver could do anything short of saying the word itself to get his/her partner to say the word; the word can be passed on (and scored if they thought of it later), but if the cluegiver blurts out the essence of the word, the word is thrown out and the contestant can't score on it. One of the categories hid a "Super Six" card, which gave the contestant a bonus prize if all six words were guessed. Three go-arounds were played (the celebrity giving the clues the first time, the contestant the next time through and a choice of cluegivers in the final round). The contestant...

The Chamber
(
Television
(Family and Game-Show)
Production manager "The Chamber" was on the very short list of game shows where contestants endured intense torture and cruelty to win large cash prizes. Two contestants competed on this short-lived offering from Fox. Host Schwartz posed a question with multiple answers; the player that can give one more correct answer after their opponent offers a wrong guess, or gives the last correct remaining answer scores one point. Two correct answers sends the "lucky" sap ... er, winner off to the Chamber. There, the contestant is strapped in and hooked to heart rate and blood pressure monitors. A series of seven levels are played, each lasting one minute. The Chamber fluctuates constantly between Hot (surrounded by flames) and Cold (ice-cold water squirted at the contestant) modes; the Chamber also rotates, sometimes at varying speeds; other distractions (such as wind gusts and tacks showered on the contestant) are added as the game progresses. While all of this is going on, host Schwartz poses general-knowledge... Written by Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com>
