Electronic Press Kits / Corporate Portfolios

Ugo Serrano, a nationally renowned artist, fabricator and metal sculptor turned to us to create a dramatic  “moving portfolio” for his appearances on the university lecture circuit, as well as to stream on his company website. 

We were excited by the challenge of breaking the mold of the traditional still photograph portfolio, bringing his pieces to life through moving images and music.  On an extremely limited budget, one-day shoot, we set out to capture his work as it is intended to be seen: in motion, dramatically lit, and with some small degree of the production value of the films that feature his creations. 

(For more detail on this production, please visit the “Latest News” page.)

Porta Jib, and its parent company Losmandy, the manufacturer of the unique jibs, dollies and camera support gear we frequently use in our productions, commissioned us to fill a major gap in their sales and publicity package. 

While they had lots of footage that had been shot with their gear, they had nothing that showed the equipment being used in the field during production.  Porta Jib asked us to conceive and produce a short demo to screen at international trade shows, as well as on their company website that dynamically demonstrated the versatility and production value their equipment provides. 

This piece continues to evolve and expand, but here is our initial “proof of concept” presentation for them.  Making its debut at NAB 2007, this piece resulted in an immediate and dramatic increase in sales, particularly in the European market.

Sword and the Stone is a unique and exciting new one-hour reality series, inspired in part by the wildly successful show American Chopper.  Sword and the Stone is a fresh twist on that proven format.

 This five minute “sizzle reel” or “proof of concept” was produced in-house by Artists on the Attack Productions.  Accompanied by a detailed show proposal, it is currently being represented by The Paradigm Talent and Literary Agency as it is shopped to major television networks.  Show creators are Geoffrey Donne and Jude Gerard Prest of the LifeLike Entertainment Corporation.

Based on the remarkable artistry of Tony Swatton, armorer and weapons creator for numerous Hollywood Blockbusters, the show is designed for the loyal fans that turned Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Braveheart and The Last Samurai into international sensations. 

Sword and the Stone transports viewers behind the scenes for a rare up-close glimpse of these unique artists and craftsmen and their techniques for creating the most iconic weapons, armor and fantastic inventions of ancient times, and to allow viewers witness these devices put through real-world tests and competitions

On Killing: The Fatal Question

In association with Carlton America and Nick Nolte's company, Kingsgate Films, Artists on the Attack Productions is currently shopping this riveting controversial documentary series.

The concept of On Killing: The Fatal Question originated with the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize nominated book On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society by psychologist, professor, and former U.S. Army Ranger, Lt. Col. David Grossman.  Grossman's book presents a deeply moving --- and alarming --- exploration of killing. From first-hand assessment of the consequences for individuals and for society of those traumatic experiences, Grossman's work provides the core of our proposal. 

The documentary will combine scholarly research and thought-provoking drama with promotability and critical attention. With the passionate commitment of Oscar-nominated actor/producer Nick Nolte, and his production company Kingsgate Films, these engrossing shows will be augmented by major star power.  Nolte has received preliminary enthusiastic responses from Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, George Clooney, John Travolta, Sissy Spacek, Sally Field, Sean Penn and Martin Sheen.

These distinguished performers will breathe dramatic life into the moving letters, journals and narratives of combat veterans, war camp survivors, family members and others who have been forever transformed by the act of killing.

With major star power in both the celebrity and political arenas at our disposal, On Killing possesses the potential to pull in even the most jaded viewer.  And once their attention has been captured, we will mount an intensely powerful, visceral productions of integrity that seeks not only to entertain, but also enlighten, to question, and even to shed significant light on one of humankind's epochal mysteries.  The fatal question: Why do we kill?

Executive Producers and Show Creators are Geoffrey Donne, Jude Prest, Nick Nolte and Greg Shapiro.
Women In Black

In association with Neuman Films, Artists on the Attack Productions is currently shopping this unprecedented documentary.

Only 20% of our judges are women,  Who are these distinguished Women In Black, and how did they climb to their lofty positions?  How has the Gentlemen's Club of the judiciary reacted to the increased female presence?  What is the legacy these judges will leave behind?  Does the presence of these women judges matter to the future of this and other nations?  These are some of the central questions analyzed by Women in Black in a pair thoughtful, ground-breaking, two-hour documentaries, introduced and hosted by a distinguished personality such as President Bill Clinton, Senator Patricia Schroeder, Stanford Law School Dean Kathleen Sullivan, or newscaster Catherine Crier ( a former judge).

The reforms achieved by women's rights activists over the last 30 years offer hope of achieving equality for women under law.  But laws are only as effective as the judges who interpret, apply, and enforce them.  Do male judges still adhere to a traditional vision of women shaped by stereotype and myth?  Does this affect their interpretation of law?  Do women judges bring a different experience, different assumptions, and their own stereotypes and myths?  And does this produce a different interpretation than their male counterparts?

Women in Black will address these questions, conduct interviews, take a remarkable walk behind sealed chamber doors, and reveal the personal lives of the world's most powerful women judges.  The program will be tight, insightful, and compelling with commanding visuals: vivid on-camera interviews, context-setting narrative, live action and archival footage, point-counter-point debates, and in-depth interviews in courtrooms, chambers, and homes.

Executive Producers and Show Creators are Jeffrey Neuman and Geoffrey Donne.  Based on the show concept and writings of Maxine Sonnenburg.
