Video: Ogi O. became a “Millionaire” legend, not just because he won a half million dollars, but because he was a such a memorable contestant. As O’s Producer, I was able to give the audience a glimpse inside his brain and get a look at what makes him so fascinating. He appeared on two episodes and it was my job to keep him amped-up and ready to make history. You can read the HOST CARD that was used to brief Meredith by clicking here.

Million Dollar Password

Hosted by Regis Philbin

Video: We collaborated for weeks with the network talent producers to book our best celebrites, and Tony Hawk was one of my favorites to work with. As with all the celebrities I was responsible for, I conducted informal interviews and did extensive research to find nuggets of information for Regis. Before each taping, I briefed Regis on what would work best when introducing and interviewing the celebrities on camera. Of course, Regis would try our suggestions, but usually end up going off on his own, with awesome results.

Video: I produced a few promos like this one for this short-lived dating show for FUSE TV. During production, my job was to come up with some of the most outrageous dating questions ever and make sure the contestants delivered the answers with their own wild touches. The contestants’ performances were definitely memorable. I stayed with the production all the way through post-production and final delivery, managing three editors for 20 episodes.

VH1’s World Series of Pop Culture

VH1. Seasons 1 & 2. 10 1hr episodes per season.
Hosted by Pat Keirnan

Video: For two seasons, I was a part of WSOPC from beginning to end, from development through delivery. In Season One I was part of a casting team that went cross-country promoting an unknown show and recruiting 17 teams of contestants. Season Two gave me the opportunity to develop new elements of the show, organize a two-day taping event at the Hammerstein Ballroom, and then coordinate post-production. I managed a team of five editors and defined the editing notes for the series. Music and graphics selections were cleared through me, along with casting voiceover actors and cataloging elements libraries. The promo below was produced as the series supertease.

Film Production Experience

Looking For Kitty (2004), Dir: Ed Burns
This was the first film I ever worked on…and it changed my life. I was referred to Ed Burns by my former EP on a TV show. Eddie made me the only PA on his first all-digital project. The crew consisted of myself and about six talented individuals. They taught me so much on our 3-week shoot, which was almost all exterior shots, in February in NYC. One one of the last shoot days, Eddie threw me in a scene to play a delivery guy. The scene made the final cut and was one of the funniest moments of the film.

The Groomsmen (2005), Dir: Ed Burns
A few months after the premier of Kitty, Eddie called me to work on The Groomsmen. This was more of a fully staffed production, about 30 or so people. The cast were all A-list and the crew was top-notch. Being on set for a month was truly an awesome learning experience. The highlight was being a body double for Jay Mohr in a softball scene.

The Breakup Artist (2005), Dir: Vincent A. Rubino
This film was written, directed and produced by Vincent Rubino and found success in distribution. I was hired for this film to help out on re-shoots and pickup shots after the main production had wrapped. The director and I continued a long working relationship.
