Rob Pagetto - Producer Cred.

Rob Pagetto. Where do I begin? Actually, even before I begin I can hear him giving me his list of credits and credentials in this biz (he is a good self-promoter for certain). Okay, I know. Rob Pagetto is an outstanding Producer. There. That's a good start because if it is produced at RedFish, the likelihood that Rob was the Producer on the project is almost 100%. He is the machine that we turn on when we go into production. From soup to nuts (and he is nuts!) Rob is who we rely on to make sure the show, commercial, event actually comes together. He and his team of super-energized APs are the first there, and the last to leave on everything we make.

I remember Rob calling me one day and I asked him in passing how things were going. His response lives with me still to this day: "Great. I just got the cocktail wieners and the sumo suits don't smell that bad so we are good to go. Oh, and we go the Borat Bathing suits we needed." We needed those? Who knew? Rob did and that's the point. As an executive producer you can only hope that the vision you are promising a network, a client or even talent will execute perfectly. Rob answered that call in my world a lot of years ago now. Since that time we have made over 100 commercials, almost 100 episodes of TV and countless corporate events and projects. He rarely gets upset. He always gets excited. That is the ultimate recipe for good morale on set, perfect execution of the project, and a happy client and crew who will return the next time the need arises.

I tip my hat to Rob. He is an huge amount of fun. He is a pillar in our business. I wish him a Happy New Year. Check your schedule...we are in production right now Rob! No rest for the wickedly funny, sorry bud. I know you would have it no other way.

You know, he was on YTV for a lot of years as a host?

Sometimes we forget that Rob is talent, too.

But not too often because he is a good reminder!

Here is a one last thing about Rob: Look for him as the HOST (yes, host) of THE LAST THREE coming to Canadian airwaves this summer.

Angela with the mad skills- Last Editor Standing

I often wonder what Angela tells people she does for a living. I recall as a group we had a hard time coming up with her title....Creative Post is what I think we came up with. Truthfully, a name for what Angela would only be under-playing.

Angela is an artist (painter among other things), music enthusiast and patient soul. Her work with us at RedFish is paramount. She oversees almost everything we put on TV from creative and editing perspective. She edits like a son of a gun! It's really quite something. Did you know these things?

Regardless, what I am writing about today has nothing to do with Angela's editing (she spends countless hours in the edit suite doing that very thing). This is to commend her for her efforts in working with myself and Humble Howard Glassman in her directorial debut on Last Bride Standing. I tuned that sucker in this weekend and it is a really enjoyable show. There is a great buzz about what Angela and Howard have been up to in the editing suites over the last few months. Howard has written an brilliant script and together the two of them have concocted a great representation of what went on at LeJardin Event and Conference Center early in the fall.

Look for her credit on Last Bride Standing. Angela Schermaul - Director.

Very good work.
