Developing a responsive relationship between Artist and client is a fundamental goal of any entertainment marketing or entertainment production effort.  Diplomacy and tact are paramount in a Producer's position in order for either party to realize their goals.  Below are a list of events and sponsorships in which I have been involved with as an Artist/ Client liaison:

(Some of these titles may be duplicated under seperate headings)

CMT Inside Fame
Associate Producer                                                                                                 Tangible Vision - October 2002 - May 2004

Creating biography/documentary television based on the lives and careers of famous music Artists requires great care and protection of tangible personal items such as baby and childhood photos, weddings albums, rare home movies, and other personal effects. Just as important, it also requires diligent diplomacy when when covering delicate subjects ranging from divorce, death, lawsuits, financial problems, and other subjects which are uncomfortable to discuss but relevant to the Artists' life and career.  The production of CMT Inside Fame required this care and diligence on a daily basis.
