Mr. Tommy Harper COO Bad Robot Productions Santa Monica, California
Mr. Tommy Harper COO Bad Robot Productions Santa Monica, California Dear Mr. Harper: Bad Robot has been an inspiration to me since I saw Cloverfield and Lost back in 2008. I am writing to you to be a part of the creative team at Bad Robot. Your ability to convey such important messages in such poignant and epic ways is incredible. I share J.J. Abrams’ love and passion for creating moving and entertaining content to the world. With a Bachelors degree in Media Communications with a focus in filmmaking from Texas Tech University, I am very experienced in not only making movies but also conveying their importance to the world. I am attracted to Bad Robot Productions because of the excellent work you have put out. You have a very high standard of filmmaking that is admirable. With my knowledge and passion for filmmaking, producing, and acting for film, I am confident in my ability to bring something special to the Bad Robot team as well as meet the needs of the company. While in school studying filmmaking, I was frequently asked to create ideas and form them into cohesive narratives films. Twice, I have placed in the top twenty best videos out of 200 in a video business program at Texas Tech. I was involved in acting in short student films. I starred in a film that won best short at the Heartland Moving Pictures Film Festival in 2010. I also helped produce and shoot a church documentary, (shorten this bit of information through the incorporation of commas or a semicolon).

Peter Roth Stepping Down As Chairman of Warner Bros. TV
Peter Roth Stepping Down as Chairman of Warner Bros. TV 10.18.2020 Peter Roth, chairman of the Warner Bros. Television Group, will step down from his role in early 2021, said Ann Sarnoff, chair and CEO, WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Group, on Friday. The announcement comes amidst many layoffs and departures at the media giant, which has also seen the departures of Robert Greenblatt, chairman of Warner Media Entertainment and direct to consumer, and Kevin Reilly, chief content officer of HBO Max and president of TNT, TBS and truTV, in early August. In May, Jason Kilar, the founding CEO of Hulu, was named CEO of WarnerMedia and since then, Kilar has been streamlining teams across WarnerMedia and doubling down on new streaming service HBO Max. Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that thousands of additional layoffs were likely coming to the company. "Peter and I have been meeting for some time about this, and while there's never a great moment to say goodbye, he felt that this was the right time to transition in a new leader for the group," said Sarnoff in a statement. "He's delivered hundreds of shows, thousands of episodes, millions of viewers, with one singular vision - to work with the best people and to make the best television series. In addition to being well respected by his colleagues and competitors, actors, writers, directors and producers, he is the force behind iconic, pop-culture-defining television shows we all know and love, including The West Wing, The Big Bang Theory, Gilmore Girls, Two And A Half Men, Gossip Girl, Supernatural, The Flash and countless others.
