Skip Konte's first glimpse of a TV was as a kid in a neighbor's trailer. "Even though the picture was extremely fuzzy I was hooked." Since that "fateful day" Mr. Konte has produced feature films, produced and/or directed hundreds of broadcast television programs, commercials, and corporate video productions, with talent ranging from William Shatner to Tim Allen. His skill set also includes music composition and scoring, film and video editing, as well as designing, supervising, and compositing special effects.
Early on Mr. Konte's TV career was interrupted by a passion for music. He went all in and his musical career blossomed. Within three years he had written, recorded, and performed his #1 song, Ride Captain Ride, on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. With that start he was awarded numerous Gold Records as a member of the bands, Blues Image and Three Dog Night.
Transforming from a performing artist to a record producer gave him the opportunity to work with iconic musical talents including Stevie Wonder, Kenny Loggins, and a host of recording artists and record companies. As a record producer his work scored multiple chart records and awards, including a Grammy nomination (Soul Gospel - Cornerstone by Leon Patillo), and a Dove award (Gospel Album of the Year - Producer) from that studio.
Eventually Skip redirected his focus to crafting music and television as a producer, director, and writer. Over the next few years his clients included such heavyweights as ESPN and Walt Disney Productions, as well as varied corporate clients including Lexus, Toshiba, and Toyota. After producing, directing, and writing for numerous television, commercial, and corporate clients, producing nine years of the National Hot Rod Association Awards Ceremonies for ESPN, and being Broadcast Producer for seven of Blizzard Entertainment's BlizzCon events Skip closed his large public facility and moved to a new private studio to concentrate on writing, producing, and directing.
Skip's creative talent and experience have expanded into the arena of feature films. "Filmmaking is the only craft I know that combines all the artistic disciplines where my creative passion thrives."
Mr. Konte's film projects span a variety of genres, from Sci-fi, Drama, Fantasy, to a period Western, The Outsider - a Skip Konte Production, distributed worldwide.
Skip Konte is a visionary with over forty years of creative experience. As a producer, director, and writer, he has a proven track record of production expertise crafting film, engaging broadcasts, commercials, and music
