Jason Brett’s Summary

Over the course of my career I have blended creative skills with business acumen in a wide range of successful experiences, from founding a landmark live theater in Chicago to producing on Broadway, to creating, writing and producing film and television entertainment. I founded and sold an early internet comedy channel and have subsequently consulted other start ups in the internet comedy and music space. I partnered with and ran the film and television division of America's foremost live comedy entertainment brand, and developed the business model for expanding the production scope of America's #1 daytime television personality.

My singular goal is - and always has been - to do what I love with those who also love what they do. From joy comes magic.
