TOM ORLAND- WRITER/PRODUCER/DIRECTOR, OH MY!!
If you said to me "Can you introduce me to an award-winning, world-traveled writer, producer, director, cameraman with over 20 years of experience in the industry...I would then be able to answer without hesitation "YES I CAN!! MEET TOM ORLAND!!!!"
Ladies and Gentlemen...get your seatbelts ready because Mr. Orland is going to take us on his journey at an intergalactic speed!!
While at Southern Illinois University, Tom developed a love of documentaries and good causes from then student teacher Steve “Hoop Dreams” James. After returning to Chicago, he not only wrote and directed many educational and marketing films for such prestigious schools as Roosevelt University and Loyola University of Chicago but he also spent several years creating promotional films for the corporate market, freelancing for Fortune 500 companies such as Andersen Consulting, Ameritech, Baxter Health Care and CNA Insurance and as the wonderful dots of his journey connected it led Mr. Orland to several high profile, award-winning fundraising videos for the Development Office of the Jesuits, which have included shoots in Kenya, India, Nepal, Peru and Italy.
Done yet? NOPE, just getting warmed up!
In addition, he worked on staff for Arthur Andersen and Marshall Field’s, where he cast and directed a then unknown Steve Carell in “A Tale of Two Fittings”, an instructional video demonstrating how to properly fit a man’s shirt. Tom takes full credit for Mr. Carell’s success.
How's that for impressive!
There's just no stopping Tom Orland and the proof is in his continued producing and directing of several cultural awareness programs for both the Latino and Native American communities. He also went on to collaborate with the Smithsonian Institute on the video segment of the “Our Lives” exhibit at the National Museum of the American Indian.
Pretty wonderful, right?
RIGHT!
Now stay with this inspiring voyage from the Smithsonian to The Animal Planet Network-
Recently, he co-wrote and produced an episode of “Animal Witness”, a new series on the Animal Planet network, which has been broadcast to millions of homes across the country.
You're thinking "More, more...ENCORE!!" I know the feeling, believe me! To find out more visit www.tomorlandproductions.com
So you see that this guy is about his business and his business is fueled by drive, passion, hard work as he creates beautiful work that uplifts and undeniably inspires all who witness it.
It is beyond my pleasure to be able to introduce you on this platform Tom Orland...You may never know how you and all that you artistically do pushes others to do and be better at their passions.
HERE'S TO YOU TOM...YOU MY FRIEND ROCK HARDER THAN CONCRETE!! :)
xoxo,
Mahoghany
