జీవిత చరిత్ర
Personal note:
I usually steer clear when talking in the third person. My job is all about personal connections, so I express it that way in my bio :).
I am immersed in the exciting development of a reality dating show (and hey, I might even jump into the show myself - it's a wild world out there, but I'm up for the challenge, lol), a live talk show, and a thrilling game show. However, since 2020, I have shifted my focus to curating and perfecting powerful life stories and partnering with individuals who have extraordinary experiences. I am thrilled to collaborate with best-selling romance authors to honor their stories and ensure they are portrayed in the most compelling way possible. I have a strong track record in creating engaging storylines ripe for adaptation to film and television. I am currently working with a best-selling author and an Emmy Award-winning producer on his prequel.
I'm known for my extensive network and my ability to connect with influential decision-makers in major Hollywood networks, studios, and production companies. Building and nurturing these relationships has taken years, and they're founded on mutual respect and understanding. My focus is on creating, writing, and producing captivating and engaging content that truly resonates with audiences. I firmly believe in collaboration and understand the importance of working together to achieve our goals. My strength lies in taking a story, developing it, and assembling the right team to bring it to life.
I work with influential executives and creatives daily to effectively connect projects with the right people from pitching to completion. I value everyone's time and energy, communicate concisely, and can regroup if things don't go as planned.
I have a deep and heartfelt passion for storytelling and a strong commitment to preserving the essence, emotions, and core story-lines of best-selling books and real-life stories when adapted for film and television. While I recognize the need for some adjustments during adaptation, I am devoted to honoring the author's original vision in the visual medium. Despite the challenges, my aim is to understand perspectives and fears to create compelling and authentic storytelling.
I'm currently working with Warner Bros. and developing with Paramount +. If you'd like to know more, please visit my website and send me a message. If you're on IMDBPro, you know where to find me.
BIO:
Nadine's Hollywood career took off in 2002 when she joined as an Executive Producer of the new show "Hollywood's Master Storytellers" at the Arclight Cinema on Sunset. Despite some initial challenges, Nadine's unwavering determination, leadership, and problem-solving skills successfully revitalized the show, making it a huge success. Over the next seven years, they attracted A-list guests such as George Clooney, Oliver Stone, Drew Barrymore, and Pierce Brosnan.
Her most significant achievement occurred six months after their shows started selling out. Top publicists, studios, and networks followed, promoting their biggest and best upcoming movie releases and anniversaries. Nadine's forward-thinking and passion for technology led HMS to AEG Live and Fathom Films. Together, they produced their first Hollywood digital simulcast with the 25th Anniversary of "The Blues Brothers" live from Hollywood, featuring Dan Aykroyd, James Brown, and guests. The simulcast was live in 385 sold-out theaters nationwide and resulted in a development deal to produce six more shows. Finally, Nadine accomplished her most significant goal by selling seven episodes to Starz Encore.
Nadine has worked closely with experienced, successful, talented writers, producers, and show-runners in Hollywood, fostering collaborative solid relationships. Her first television project involved selling the first episode of season two of "Stripperella" to Stan "The Man" Lee and Gil Champion. In 2008, Nadine pitched a reality show she co-created and wrote called "Step 9: Making Amends" to Doug Schwartz, the creator and Executive Producer of Baywatch. He loved the idea, and they collaborated with multiple Emmy Award and Academy Award winner Arnold Shapiro ("Big Brother"), who joined as an Executive Producer. This collaborative spirit led to NBC Universal picking up the show. Nadine's work on several reality projects with Doug and her talent for writing, producing, and pitching high-concept reality shows to Hollywood further solidified her industry relationships. She has worked with networks such as E! Entertainment, NBC (Universal Studios), Warner Bros, Paramount, The CW, Bravo, Lifetime, Lions Gate, and ABC.
Nadine played a crucial role in the success of the 'Lovitz or Leavitz' show with Jon Lovitz. Her orchestration of celebrity guest bookings and her understanding of the pivotal role of social media in entertainment significantly elevated the show's social media impact.
In 2014, Nadine successfully wrote, developed, and cast the pilot "Killer Cocktails and a Horror Flick" with Carlos Alazraqui, known for "Reno 911" and "Cars." William Morris represented the show. After collaborating with "Cash Cab" show-runner Ron Deutsch on a new series, Nadine presented "Psychic Cab," which was quickly picked up by Ron, Johnny McMahon (of World Poker Tour), and Russell Naftal (from Paranormal VR). The thirty-minute pilot, represented by UTA, has been recently redeveloped and is set to air in 2025, live from Las Vegas. This journey is a testament to Nadine's unwavering dedication to her work and commitment to delivering high-quality content.
Nadine's extensive television portfolio includes work on popular shows such as 'Everybody Loves Raymond' and 'King of Queens,' where she demonstrated her versatility and adaptability in her ability as a comedy writer. Starting in 2015, she became a ghostwriter and development executive for networks like Lifetime Television For Women, Warner Brothers, and NBC Universal, focusing on true life stories.
Nadine's deep expertise in marketing, social media, and brand building has driven the success of Innovative Souls Media & Digital Marketing Inc. Her impactful projects with various not-for-profit organizations and prestigious award ceremonies, where she showcased her celebrity booking, social media, PR, and marketing skills, highlight her social responsibility and community involvement. Her affiliations with great organizations like Women In Film Los Angeles Lucy Awards, Women In Film Las Vegas (now the Vice President and head of programming), Dream Vision Studio, The Hollywood Reporter Top 100 Women in Hollywood, Alliance For Women In Media Genii Awards, and Women That Soar Awards cement her strong presence in the industry.
Books & Reality Shows
In 2021, Nadine followed her insatiable passion for books and turned it into a career by approaching a best-selling author to acquire the rights for a television adaptation. She teamed up with Executive Producers Michael and Andy Weiss of WeBros Entertainment. Their current projects include "One Fast Move" with Eric Dane and Edward James Almos, set to release on Amazon Prime, and several movies in production with Paramount Studio and Paramount +. They've just announced Aaron Eckhart in "Raider." Andy is an expert in adapting storylines for the screen and has worked on projects such as "Middle Men," "White Boy Rick," and "Bigger," which all feature excellent casts.
Nadine is collaborating with a best-selling author and has taken her the distance thus far. After nearly 11 months in development, they brought the TV show "Untitled" (sorry, respecting the NDA) to life. The inspiration for the show stemmed from Nadine's deep admiration for the trilogy and her zeal for learning the author's world inside out. With over twenty million reads, 100K 4.5 star reviews, and nearly 450 million hashtag mentions, her books have captured the attention of readers and social media users worldwide. As a testament to their popularity, the author's books remain top-sellers on Amazon, and she has forged distribution partnerships with two top-tiered publishing companies (again, NDA). Leveraging her connections, Nadine has successfully introduced the author to a high-profile literary agent (who brokered one major Publishing deal), and they are negotiating with a television and film agent within the agency.
In 2023, Nadine acquired the rights to Jimmy Keene's book, "The Chicago Phoenix," the prequel to his Emmy Award-winning show, "Black Bird," on Apple +. Webros Ent. is on board with two adaptations of Keene's shows that Nadine has created and is developing with Keene and the producers: "The Chicago Phoenix: The Rise of Jimmy Keene" and "The Untitled Jimmy Keene Anthology Series." They are getting releases from Apple + and will shop for major networks, studios, financiers, and investors. Nadine also manages Jimmy's current production slate, including "American Sparkle" with Paramount and his upcoming books "The Wander" and "American Sparkle," both movie adaptations and TV series.
She is also actively involved in negotiations with two other best-selling authors, one of whom has sold an impressive 20 million books. Nadine's meticulous care and attention are evident in each project as she propels the authors and their books to the next level within the Hollywood labyrinth. She actively works with the authors to develop their stories and on-board the right writers, producers, actors, and show-runners who can take the projects to the finish line.
Nadine's boundless creativity is driving the development and pre-production in the reality realm with "Untitled Dating Show," "Untitled Game Show," and "Psychic Cab." All three are under a strict non-disclosure agreement and involve top influencers; two have show-runners and celebrities attached.
Nadine's dear friend, Phyllis, is the CEO of Dream Vision Studios and the President of Women In Film Las Vegas. Their collaboration has been integral to both of their journeys. They established a formidable partnership in 2018 and hold critical positions within Women In Film Las Vegas. They are gearing up to launch the impactful "Women In Film Storytellers Series" and "Silent Voices Of Power" project in 2024 with Women In Film US. This non-profit organization is dedicated to empowering women and men in the entertainment industry, providing them with invaluable opportunities to break into this challenging business. Each project includes educating interns, offering crucial mentorship, and a chance for personal and professional growth. This initiative deeply resonates with Nadine's compassionate spirit.
