PRODUCER BIO: Tennyson E. Stead

Nearly every motion picture falters in the development process when it encounters the divide between creative and financial interests. Coming from a background in the classical theater, Mr. Stead has the creative instincts and collaborative experience necessary to a master storyteller. His command of cinema has been proven as a screenwriter, and as a director of short film (XII, Farther).

After seven years spent successfully financing and marketing independent films (Bob Funk, Noah’s Ark), supported by two years operating in social media, Mr. Stead also has the market knowledge, the salescraft, the relationships and the relentless drive of a seasoned producer. Having Tennyson E. Stead on Sam Bailey ensures that every member of the production team is working towards a shared vision, and that the creative and financial goals of the project are in unison.
