Judith Gatesman: Producer
..Being a producer, to me, is like orchestrating a party for creative minds to come together in collaboration, with the intention of bringing a piece of art to life. You have a very specific goal with a lot of moving parts, and some productions run smoothly without any snags, others come with challenges to overcome, but with a little tenacity, in no time we are back on track not missing a beat.Â
My favorite part of each job is the enthusiastic interaction that each client and crew member experiences during the process. The detail and pace of each project I produce is what fuels the passion and excitement that I have for this industry.”
With an instinctive ability to lead, negotiate and collaborate creatively, Judith manages to keep projects of any size budget and complexity on track, on time and within budget.
She started her career in Chicago as a photographer and moved into print production early on, traveling the country for Spiegel Catalog. Later she moved to Los Angeles where she began Producing high profile advertising campaigns, celebrity magazine covers, album covers and movie poster shoots. In 2004, she began producing motion picture, with the production of Feeding the Fire, a reality-style cooking show featuring American Fire Fighters. She has since fed her passion by producing commercials for Animal Planet, a series of children’s educational films, and documentary style promotional and corporate films.
Rocket 88 Studios has developed educational programming for Kids Vids which includes a series of animated shorts that include live child actors interacting with animated characters, as well as the cooking show Feeding The Fire which takes cooking into the firehouse to see how America’s Heroes eat.
