Hire the Best Film Producers in California
West Hollywood, California
Seasoned entertainment executive with 15+ years experience in sales, talent representation and development. Founder of Rewind Artists, a boutique management and production company with bases in Los Angeles and New York representing actors, writers and directors in the film and television industry across the globe. I have produced both scripted and unscripted content with A-list talent and production companies and understand the complexities of leading a project from inception to greenlight. I am looking forward to helping you navigate the entertainment space and provide business development strategies or project support. While I appreciate the interest, I am not seeking new talent representation clients, commission-based arrangements, unpaid partnerships, or speculative opportunities through Upwork. Engagements should be structured as consulting, advisory, producing, sponsorship, business development, or strategic project work. If you're looking for experienced guidance, industry insight, relationship development, packaging support, sponsorship strategy, distribution consulting, or production expertise, I'd be happy to discuss how I can help.

I'm a highly-experienced scriptwriter, editor and TV, film and video producer with a track record of writing and producing projects that attract an audience and get results. I specialize in explainers, corporate films, non-profit videos, TV series, and other message-driven content. I was the creator and EP of the documentary series "NHL Trophy Case" for NHL Network, and was the producer, director, and writer for the series "Cash Cab" on Discovery Channel, which became one of the most successful TV series of the 2000s. I won three Emmy Awards for my work on that series. I've also produced reality series for MTV, MSNBC and others. I've produced and written videos and short films for corporations, non-profits, and other organizations such as Apple, Informatica, Palo Alto Networks, SoftServe Infragistics, Humane Society of the United States, CP Capital, University of Redlands, and dozens of other start-ups, brands and other organizations. I specialize in clever - sometimes comedic - wording and concepts, I know how to create and build a message-driven video, and have deep production knowledge as well as a large list of connections in the industry. I work closely with clients to create and develop concepts, write video scripts, design storyboards and then produce, direct and ultimately deliver highly effective videos and films. I'm incredibly talented, driven, and have a unique background that can make your project rise above the others. I look forward to working with you.

Hello! My name is Ben Carter Olcott, and I’m a TV writer repped by 3 Arts Entertainment; a published and award-nominated author; and an Entertainment industry veteran based in Los Angeles. I’ve worked side-by-side with Emmy-nominated TV producers on projects set up at Universal Studios and 20thTV, and I’ve helped develop series pitches at Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Peacock, and HBO. My literary writing has been published in national literary magazines, was a Missouri Review Editors’ Prize Finalist, and nominated for a Pushcart Prize. I am currently represented by Tom Lassally (Edge of Tomorrow, Silicon Valley) and Rob Harrington of 3 Arts Entertainment for TV and Film screenwriting. I was most recently the Associate Producer to Emmy-nominated writer-producer Robin Veith (Mad Men, The Act) on her overall deal at 20th Television. I previously served as Writers’ Assistant and Showrunner’s Assistant on Hulu’s limited series Candy (EPs: Nick Antosca, Robin Veith). My screenplays have been finalists in ScreenCraft’s True Stories Competition, the Southern California Screenwriting Contest, and the Geneva International Science in Fiction Screenplay Awards. Additionally, I have been a script consultant at Roadmap Writers for over six years. My story “Rates of Exchange” was a finalist in the The Missouri Review 2025 Editors’ Prize, and “Friend in Town” was shortlisted for The Masters Review 2025 Best Emerging Writers contest. Past work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. I was recently supported by the Kenyon Review Summer Writers Workshop, where I studied with O. Henry Award winner Matthew Neill Null. My writing has appeared or is forthcoming in X-R-A-Y, 9VT\5, Pangyrus, Marrow, TulipTree, Cusper, Showcase, Hypocrite Reader, Sharkpack Poetry Review, and KGB Bar Literary Magazine. I have a degree in English with a Concentration in Creative Writing from Boston College’s Honors Department. I was an Assistant Editor at Oxford University Press for three years, where I managed a list of textbooks with a sales value of over 3 million dollars. Additionally, I was a Digital Manager managing the delivery of Digital education assets. I was the Managing Editor at KGB Bar Literary Magazine for three years, where I copyedited every article we published.
