The Music Business: The Insiders Guide to Breaking in.
The Writers Process: From Concept to Publication
- Helped develop and produce the first distance learning project on the web and DVD series pertaining to insider knowledge for the Music and Publishing Industry. I worked closely with production company BitMax, the Universal Music Group and Penguin Putnam Books. The series was developed by Jimmy Iovine and Doug Morris and Lori Weinstein, directed by Nancy Bennett of BitMax.
Produced the Mark Romanek DVD for the Directors Label Series at Palm Pictures. I helped initiate the concept and advise this highly acclaimed series about filmmakers who redefined the visual landscape of the Music Video genre. The series includes the work of Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, Chris Cunningham, Stephane Sednaoui, Jonathan Glazer, Anton Corbijn and Mark Romanek. Series first released in 2003.
I helped to produce and oversee the delivery of this very powerful straight to video performance film directed by Peter Care. Filmed on location in Atlanta, the film was extensively and painstakingly shot edited from three live concert dates with over 16 cameras and 120 hours of footage, culminating in over thirty-five individual videos, to make up the overall performance based film.
Co-developed with a team of advisors, this Stephen Glassman (artist-based) installation concept turns existing billboards into green-space for the purpose of creating greater awareness and information for the current state of Climate Change. We successfully launched a Kickstarter campaign and raised enough money to create prototype materials and vision board for further development. The project is currently awaiting approval and additional funding by the City of Los Angeles, Mayor Garcetti, the DWP, and Head of Sustainability Matt Peterson along with pending sponsor partners.
