Hey folks,
I haven't been on the boards for a while (working 60-130hrs a week while maintaining a wife and 2 kids :) ), about 18 months ago, I took a director/producer/Sr. Editor position with a startup company producing the first Obstacle Course Racing TV Show based on a Mud Run ( called Hard Charge ). We grew to reach 85Million households on several different major sports nets across the US and were working on international distribution when the company closed because the events were not seeing the expected growth. (we got our last checks and an apology, the CEO never took a dime and lost a lot of his own money, so this isn't a golden parachute scenario)
Unfortunate, but that's the gamble when starting with a new company. It's frustrating because the work I was doing was growing and going relatively well, so it's tough to watch it fail based on things that weren't in my control. That said, I'm in the process of looking for another steady gig at an ad agency in town or something, however in the mean time I'm trying to make ends meet between unemployment and odd jobs.
I'm sure most folks here are not in a position of turning down work. And while I'm not trying share my sob story and look for sympathy. I was just hoping that anyone who might have a lead on work they can't take would be possibly kind enough to throw it my way.
My Reel ( which has my contact info at the end ) can be seen here:

In-case anyone is interested some of the gear the company is selling can be seen on my eBay account (not money going to me so I don't think there's any abuse of the forum in posting this).

Also in-case anyone wanted to see the show we did, I've got a couple of episodes online on my personal YT account so you can see them below. They were produced as live for the most part, and with less than $120K in production and post production equipment,.a Production crew of about 10-12 people including sideline talent, camera crew, in-studio VO talent, etc... depending on event. We had about 40 tracks on any given project and we had about 35-45 active cameras on any given event (including POV's)...


Thanks for anything anyone can send my way or lead me on to...
