What Indsustry Leaders say about Mark Gantt

The Bannen Way came to us a complete package. They had a unique show, great concept,interesting characters, knew who their audience was and how to recoup the money. Mark has that rare quality of being able to lead and inspire a crew while balancing many hats including, writing, executive producing and starring in a large production.
Eric Berger, Senior VP Digital Networks, Sony Pictures Television

Mark’s passion, talent and conviction around The Bannen Way caused something of a bidding war among the digital executives at major networks. While our network did not pick up the show, we continue to applaud how Mark and team raised the bar in terms of production values, talent and distribution in the nascent digital arena from the first pitch to the finished product.
Cameron Death, VP Digital Content – NBC Universal

Mark Gantt is an example of not waiting for someone to tell you it is O.K. to do something. He believed in their vision and found a way to execute brilliantly.  In today’s climate you must not only think beyond the creation of the video but how the content will make money in various platforms.
Amber J. Lawson, Comedy Publisher – Babelgum.com

Mark didn’t sit back waiting for something to happen for him. He took the initiative, developed his
own vehicle, and was very creative in figuring out how to get it financed, marketed and distributed.
Larry Tanz, President, – Vuguru
