Thom Beers,
CEO & Executive Producer
Original Productions |
Session planning for the 2010 edition of Factual Entertainment Forum is already underway and we’re delighted to announce that Original Productions’ CEO and Executive Producer Thom Beers is going to be heading up the advisory board.
The driving force behind the Primetime Emmy® winning Deadliest Catch, and Ice Road Truckers, and top-rated shows, Monster Garage, and Black Gold, Beers has created a unique brand of television programming featuring unheralded heroes in high risk, high reward situations. His catalogue of more than 40 series is firmly entrenched across cable powerhouses Discovery Communications Networks, History, WeTV, SPIKE TV, The National Geographic Channel, TruTV and TLC among others.
With Thom and the board providing content ideas, delegates are surely going to be treated to relevant, informative and entertaining sessions.
