Biografia
Producer-writer Gary Sager has a long track record of creating innovative projects that embody the grail of commerical-artistic merit, without getting made...until the new cosmic alignment..(as many agents, lawyers, managers and other elements of the dream-matrix would concede, confirm, or deny any responsibility for)
He began his journey in Orchard Park, a small town outside Buffalo New York where he performed as lead guitarist and vocalist for popular rock band Fat Rabbit ...while giving music lessons to a myriad of students eager to learn fancy fretwork...
Graduated from Buffalo State with focus on the sciences, where it was ultimately determined medical school was not in the best interest of any future patients...
And left the east coast for Hollywood in the 70s with songs in tow searching for that record deal, where he sold hi-end audio-video to the stars while doing his demos...from Jackson Browne to Stevie Nicks, Jon Voight to Sylvester Stallone...they all got their 'Electronic Jones' serviced by GS.
After several close calls with another Buffalo transplant-keyboard associate in getting a record label via major producers, established rock stars, and some major station airplay as solo artist...
He transitioned to camera work in television..shooting rock videos, talk shows, game shows, commercials, adult films, live news, docs, court shows, varied syndicated fare, numerous pilots, and approximately 150 sitcom episodes as zoom and focus jockey...While also writing scripts and learning the actor's craft from a Meisner protege to then do bit work on soaps, etc..as further grounding for legitimate producer chops.
He worked as producer for major cable, created programming with development deals at major production shops on break-through alternative formats- including music programming predating MTV with all the early elements...wrote and co-wrote many scripts while also attached as producer, lining up elements to many of those feature and television projects with multiple Oscar and Emmy-winning talents on board..one, a first with the theme park ride integrated into the film's plot.
He was also pivotal in configuring maybe the first digital compositing post operation in town with DIC Animation, Syntrax, and Fairlight Equipment Corp.
He now has a wide spectrum of projects on the dock; including comedy-games, sitcoms, features, music and book ventures...
His infamous video of the William Tell Overture, performed on guitar while balanced on a Bongo Board, and staple of his rock touring days, can be seen on YouTube..as..Gary Sager "Rocks" the William Tell.
