Productions

Command & Conquer Network / Electronic Arts
Electronic Arts, one of the world’s most successful publisher of electronic games, wanted to find a way to leverage the incredible success and brand awareness of their sports titles (“EA Sports…it’s in the game!”) to other game franchises. Our solution was to create a broadband line-up of “E! meets ESPN”-styled original programming based on new game releases, beginning with their extremely popular “Command & Conquer” franchise. We supervised the construction of a working TV studio at the EA facility in Playa del Rey, then created and produced the programming for the “Command & Conquer network”. It premiered around the world in September 2007 to rave reviews and increased game sales. The network is now a global success, and just celebrated its one-year anniversary with a huge gala event at the World Games Convention in Leipzig Germany.

PBS Kids Sprout / Comcast
Comcast and PBS wanted to launch the first 24-hour channel dedicated strictly to the 2-6 year old set. The challenge was to launch and brand the network, creating an identity separate from the local PBS Kids programming block, as well as developing some of the first original short-form series. Using stylish 2-D graphics, cuddly Super-8 film shoots, catchy original music, and clever writing that never talked down to kids, the network launched to great success, and is now the fastest growing children’s network.

Road to Stardom, The Missy Elliott Project
Along with a team of top reality show producers, Missy Elliott and Mona Scott, we assisted in developing and producing Missy’s hot reality show looking for the next “Super Star.” The show took a group of aspiring artist around the country as they competed for a record contract with Missy Elliott and a $100,000 dollar prize. The show aired on UPN for 13 episodes.

How Models Are Made with Paul Wharton
Gate Pass developed and produced a one-hour video for aspiring supermodels. On camera we featured a team of specialists from top modeling agencies, high fashion photographers and fashion insiders who explained what it really takes to break into modeling. The video also featured top models that demonstrated how to pose for the camera and how to walk the runway.

This was her first appearance in America after being elected and the event was a huge success!

The Jim Jones Project
When rapper Jim Jones was putting out his CD “On My Way To Church,” Gate Pass Entertainment produced a documentary film telling the compelling story of how he went from hustlin’ to becoming one of the most successful rappers in the industry today.
