John Bertholon

John's career path was a little unorthodox. A starving actor for years, he tripped over an opportunity to launch a production company on a whim in 1997 and through trial by fire created Café Digital - a weekly hosted documentary/variety series on the cultural impact of digital technology. He served as the show's executive producer and went on to a successful launch. The program aired across the US in broadcast syndication (1998 - 2001) before securing second window distribution deals on Discovery Science Channel and Discovery Channel - Asia & Latin America. Over the years he has had a consistent record of success in production, and content development, encompassing a diverse career. He is known as a team builder with applied development, creative, technical, organizational and leadership skills across a wide range of TV genres. Now, with over 20 years in the business, he has fostered a solid foundation in the development, launch and enduring production of large-scale syndicated reality strips, soft-scripted, documentary and format reality series for major broadcast and top cable television networks topping $300 Million in total output. He has had direct oversight of nearly 1,500 hours of programming in various genres and acquired hands-on experience in directing, writing, original content development, producing, show running and creative production supervision.
