About Us

Having a Loyola University New Orleans degree in Broadcast production gives the option to serve clients using all media. Clients include those using radio, television and the web. As Executive Producer and Writer there are options to produce videos ranging from 1-3 minute vignettes to 30 & 60 minute programs. These vignettes and programs give clients the opportunity to explain what the client does and what they offer far beyond what a 30-second commercial can do. These videos can be produced in the studio or at your place of business, and at a cost more reasonable than you might expect.

How We Got Started

Started in 1981 writing commercials at a small town radio station. I wrote many. Then I moved to New Orleans where I wrote more. I started my own business in 1992 and began working for clients utilizing radio and television, and now, of course, for the web. With commercials, humor is the specialty offered. Unsure? Ask for a spec script.

They will only consider a submission from an agent.  You want an agent in the New York City area or Los Angeles area.  I'd suggest you google something like "broadcast agents in los angeles accepting submissions."

Depends on the prospect.  I ask the assistant how the prospect prefers to be approached and take their advice.  Sure, sometimes they mislead me, but most often if you politely ask for their help, they'll give it.
