Please feel free to contact me if you are:
-Interested in getting involved in the world of nonscripted/alternative television development
-Looking for assistance in figuring out how to cut costs in a low- or ultra-low-budget indie production
-Trying to develop a webseries or web presence for yourself or your brand
-Interested in mentoring or rendering services for creators of webseries and online content
-New to the entertainment industry (as production/staff/crew, NOT as on-camera talent) and would like some down-to-earth advice
I am seeking production partners for web and new media projects. If you wish to finance or join the team, drop me a line.
I receive a lot of messages and contact requests, so please forgive me if I am slow in responding or accepting an invitation. Unfortunately I do not have enough time to respond to all of the requests from on-camera talent for assistance in securing jobs/auditions; I am not at a point in my career where I can be of assistance to you in that way, as I typically work in nonscripted/alternative (i.e. "reality TV") casting and only cast scripted roles for web content.

Bio:
I develop and sell nonscripted/alternative programming and package casts for network television projects. I also occasionally work on independent films. You should definitely check out a project I am deeply honored to be a part of: www.the37.org
I have a strong background in project development, editing, solving challenging casting problems in the nonscripted space, digital outreach campaign design, on- and off-line research efforts and research department organization, on-location producing of talent and crew, crew management and hiring, cost reduction techniques, and the creation of network quality sales material and project bibles.
I have limited experience in the areas of archival exploitation and conservation, audio engineering, directing and DP work, writing, crowdfunding, photography, and cinematography.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Interests:
New Media - What will entertainment look like in ten years? How about in three years?
Genetic Advertising Delivery - Making digital advertising deliveries worth more, and making them return more profit to creators.
Profit-Sharing and Crowdfunding - Tapping creators into larger potential revenues outside of ad-based profit models (YouTube, et al). Turning fans and consumers into media stakeholders.
Online Video Platform UI - How can the media experience online be improved? How can consumers utilize social and informational aspects of the online experience without breaking the illusion of web-as-TV style experience?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Note: I only have one IMDb credit if you look me up. Most of my credits are upcoming, pending series orders on nonscripted projects I've created. Hopefully in the next year some of my current Executive Producer deals on paper will have become on-screen EP and Co-EP credits to brag about, but they haven't yet. I have solid producing and casting reels to demonstrate my experience in development, but I cannot post them publicly online without violating confidentiality agreements with networks and production buyers. Please contact me or my company directly if you wish to view demo reels for my work.
