Mark Kalbfeld - Producer  / Editor              310-497-1645

After film school, I started my career in New York City as a Production Assistant and editor.  It was exciting to balance my time between production and being on set and post production and editing a project for months at  a time.  My first producing job was a music video for James Taylor. I moved to Los Angeles and produced music videos and commercials.   Soon after, I found myself going to Nashville to produce country music videos.  I met several Nashville based companies and my producing career flourished.  I was producing music videos for Brooks and Dunn, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Martina McBride.  I have been nominated for 14 Academy Of Country Music Awards for Producer / Best Music Video and have won the award 5 times.  In-between the music videos I would produce commercials for clients such as FORD, Tropicana Juice, Kraft Foods, Varilux, Kia, Jack Daniels and Blue Cross to name a few.

​

Always keeping busy, I moved into some Television producing specials and long form DVD's for NBC, ABC and FOX.  Some of these include:  THE PASSION (FOX - Produced all of the pre tape segments), Olivia Newton John-Live from the Sydney Opera house (a Live 10 camera performance based DVD), WIND IN THE WIRE - Producer for a TV movie for ABC,  Rascal Flats, Nothing Like This - (ABC) a behind the scenes look of the band creating a new album. Along with numerous promos for NBC/Universal, Fox and ABC.

​

I've even kept up my editing skills by cutting documentaries for Wings Over Wendy's, Pioneers of the Automobile and several commercials and web series.

​

My philosophy has always been to create a “team” atmosphere with my production crew. Growing up, i worked in the family run dry cleaners, where my dad taught me every aspect of the dry cleaning industry. I learned to deal with the public and manage  employees. I have put this same type of experience into producing. Over the years I have learned details of all equipment and  I try to stay current with the latest trends in everything from cameras to lighting styles.  I have made it a point to learn as much as I can from every department on a movie set or in post production. This comes in handy when budgeting and dealing with problems that arise during production. Because of my experience, I am able to aid in decisions and even think outside the box to come up with solutions to a problem.  My background producing commercials, promos, documentaries, music videos and multi-camera shows has taught me that there are many creative solutions to the problems that arise in production.
