What Fred does
I run a film and video production company, and I also freelance as a writer, producer, and director. Southdown Creative creates award-winnng comedy film and video projects, such as national TV commercials, corporate videos, and viral Internet marketing campaigns. Additionally, we have two TV shows currently on-air (one local, one national), and we just wrapped production on our first music video. I got as a staff member on Saturday Night Live helping make the fake commercials, so my true love is comedy.
By night, I perform comedy improvisation with Seattle's TheatreSports and I emcee private events, auctions, and trivia competitions. Generally speaking, I bring the funny to the people. Someone has to.
What Fred does best
Entertainment on all scales. Writing. Producing. Directing. Emceeing. Comedy. Hilarity. The ha-has.
What does Fred need?
I have a need for a bookkeeper, and a part-time personal assistant. Additionally, I'm always looking for creative partners: everyone from producers to cinematographers to actors to makeup artists.
Education
NYU Film School, BFA - Film and Television Production
Experience
I've written, directed, or produced comedy for companies ranging from Xbox to Adult Swim to Russell Investment Group to Seattle Works to NBC to Intel to Starbucks.
