Carl Kocis III

Producer & shooter for a (9 minute) extended presentation/sizzle that featured a no holds barred small town Kentucky Sheriff tackling a drug epidemic. The gig featured my 2nd camera and I going head first into meth trailers in the dead of night COPS style, which was without a doubt my most dangerous location shoot.

Worked with my Segment Producer writing game show questions and managing contestants for the eight episodes assigned to us. The show was a shorter daytime version of the 2009 hit FOX series "The Moment of Truth" (#1 new show of 2009).

Producer for Spike pilot that included developing international "dangerous job challenges" between U.S. workers and a crew of their foreign counterparts.

Worked with my Segment Producer on 4 different episodes of the series. Duties included casting, talent coordination, and question writing for the game show.

Worked with my EP to build episodes based off medical procedures we felt the contestants needed most. For over 100 episodes I worked with all of our doctors and their staff to book appointments such as lasik, full veneers, and many different skin procedures.

Secured locations & vendors for 8 episodes.

Assisted casting producer in the search for exciting almost-engaged men and women who were interested in popping the question in "extreme" ways, such as sky-typing and discovering rings during scuba expeditions.
