As SVP of Creative and Executive Producer at Los Angeles-based Painless Productions, Kaiman has developed, managed, and produced several successful projects, including two seasons of "Building Outside the Lines" on Magnolia/MAX, fifteen seasons of one of television's longest-running and most iconic paranormal series, "The Dead Files," along with "Dead Files Revisited" and "The Dead Files Revealed," as well as two seasons each of "Fright Club," "Ghost Brothers: Lights Out," and "The Holzer Files," all for Travel Channel/Discovery+. Other recent projects include five seasons of the gripping Investigation Discovery true-crime series "Reasonable Doubt," the Disney+/NatGeo Wild series "Out There with Jack Randall," four National Geographic SharkFest specials ("Man vs. Shark," "Most Wanted Sharks," and "Sharks That Eat Everything"), and HGTV's "Hot Properties: San Diego."
Kaiman's work at Painless also includes the top-rated Lifetime Movies/LMN series "My Crazy Ex" and its spin-off "My Crazy Sex," as well as several seasons of the popular re-creation series "My Haunted House," airing on A&E, LMN, Destination America, and Travel Channel. He also produced the highly-rated original Lifetime movie "House of Darkness" and its sequel "House of Darkness: New Blood," along with TLC's "Evil Things". Other notable projects include Discovery Channel's "Highway to Sell," two seasons of Travel Channel's "Sand Masters," and Travel Channel's explosive "Sand Blasters" competition specials.

Get Me Out of Here!" and "Adventure Crazy" starring Phil Keoghan of "The Amazing Race").
Kaiman was the writer, producer, and director of TLC's Emmy-nominated series "Junkyard Wars" and composed and performed the musical scores for two independent features.
