Seth Adam Cohen

Summer 2007 Seth is a graduate of Hampshire College, a leader in alternative education, receiving his B.A. in Media Arts in 2000. On campus he created and produced the very popular college network show 'CTV,' as well as worked with, and received a grant from, The Lemelson National Program for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Creativity, now headquartered at MIT. Seth is the only artist to ever receive a grant from this program. He also received the very prestigious Cooper Hewitt Best of Design Award, from the Cooper Hewitt Museum and Smithsonian Institute. This is the highest design award given scholastically in the Untied Sates. Seth wrote his first feature script 'SpeakEasy' as his senior project. Seth moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to pursue his Hollywood dreams. In the year since arriving, he has been a busy man. He served as Line Producer on the reality-competition show 'Setup' for Speed (Fox Sports), as well as Senior Production Manager on the reality-competition show 'Bullrun' for Spike. Before working in Reality, Seth independently produced a national thirty-second spot for Doritos with Jed James, now the EP for Fallout Films/Fallout Entertainment, and Directors Brett Snider and Billy Federighi, and independently produced a music video for the LA based band Dirty Little Secret, again with Jed James and with Director Bradley Kettlety, now working for Anonymous Content. Seth has also produced many other music videos this year: independently, for Fallout, and most recently providing production services for the French company 5th Dimension. This final project was for one of France's top Hip-Hop artists, Passi.

Previously Seth lived and worked in the NYC production world for six years. During that time he held a staff position at historic Kaufman Astoria Studios, working on projects ranging from the first Strokes music video, with director Roman Coppola, to 'Crossing Over with John Edward,' the BBC's 'Top of the Pops' and Paramount Pictures/DreamWorks SKG feature film 'The Stepford Wives'. During this time Seth also worked in production on feature films ('Speak,' 'Petty Crimes'), produced commercials (including one for Asian Telecommunications powerhouse NTT-DoCoMo, with DCA Advertising/Densu Corp.), events (including ones for Canon USA and Aventis), short films, many which received festival attention ('Semmelweis,' 'Red Letters,' 'The Balloonist,' more), and the 'Big Brother' -like Russian Reality show, set in Manhattan, 'Golod.' Many of these projects were completed under the GoPicture Productions banner, the company Seth owned and operated with partner Matthew Fabiano. New York also saw Seth working in the professional art world, collaborating with emerging installation artist Justin Lowe. Seth is most proud of his strong international production contacts and relationships, ranging from Russia, France, and the UK, to Brazil and Japan, as well as his network of young creative talent.

Currently Seth is developing numerous non-scripted television concepts with various LA based producers and production outfits, as well as an exciting slate of Feature Films including an adaptation of 'Albatross on Deck' by Drew C. Dalton, which he co-wrote. In his spare time Seth is developing New Media projects, writing his third feature ('The Extraordinary Adventures of The Boy and Jack'), attending UCLA Extension in Business and Entertainment, and enjoys reading about String Theory.
